Description

A Stunning, Quintessential Period Grade II Listed Village Inn with Superior Four Bed Owners Accommodation.

The Inn is situated in the hamlet of Chiselborough in an unspoilt rural part of Somerset in a reasonably accessible location to draw trade from the many towns and small villages in the area, including Crewkerne some 4 miles to the south and Yeovil 7 miles west. The county town of Taunton and the M5 motorway are twenty miles to the west of Chilselborough.  The nearby A303 trunk road, around a mile and a half away, is one of the major holiday routes to the Westcountry. The Cat Head Inn is substantially built of mellow ham stone under a slated roof.  It was converted from a farmhouse into a pub about 1896 and is Grade II listed. A feature of the business is the beautiful outside trading area, arranged as 3 beer gardens, a patio and Skittle Alley and also the character main bar and dining room. The pub is currently closed, however provides an excellent opportunity for an operator to kick start the business at an affordable price.
