Stoke On Trent Retail for Sale - Stafford
An attractive roadside property of two-storey construction to its main section with a single storey extension to the side. The property is white-wash rendered and lies beneath a pitched tiled roof. Externally, there is a patio area to the side, a large tree-lined grassed beer garden, a field with 6 caravan plug-in points and a car park with space for around 40 vehicles.
The trading area is essentially a large, single L-shaped room, albeit in a series of distinct sections which create a great deal of character. At its heart is a similar shaped timber bar servery. There is a mixture of carpeted, boarded and flagstone f looring with ceiling beams, a double sided fireplace, halfpanelled walls and large patio doors which provide a bright feel, adding to the ambience. In total, it can seat circa 100 covers whilst still leaving space at the bar. Serving this is a large and well fitted trade kitchen, whilst the customer toilets include Disabled/Baby Change facilities.
The private quarters are at first floor level and comprise three double bedrooms (one of which is currently used as an office), a large living room, utility area and bathroom.
