Leasehold Public House, Wincanton, Somerset For Sale

Business description

Bag a Business Ltd is delighted to offer to the market Uncle Tom's Cabin, a unique opportunity to acquire a delightful thatched public house. The premises also have the added benefit of a three-bedroom Victorian villa and a one-bedroom converted stable. The building dates originally from the 14th century and was converted into a public house in 1861. Our client has managed Uncle Tom's Cabin for five years, until she purchased the premises in 2003 and embarked on a complete refurbishment programme to bring them up to the high standard they enjoy today, including a new thatched roof , moving the cellar, improving and upgrading the private accommodation and introducing a beer garden. Uncle Tom's Cabin enjoys a wide and varied clientele, being renowned as a traditional cider house, which also serves real-ales. The pub also has two very successful pool teams that have just been promoted to the top of the league. We feel that the extensive private accommodation could be utilised to offer bed and breakfast. Early viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate the full potential of this beautiful thatched public house.
