Summary - 31, WILTON STREET, TAUNTON TA1 3JR
1 bed 1 bath Pub
Large freehold, historic pub with conversion potential subject to listed-building constraints.
Prominent corner position in central Taunton
A substantial, historic freehold pub in central Taunton occupying a prominent corner on Wilton Street. The Vivary Arms is reputed to be the oldest recorded pub in Taunton and offers a large ground-floor footprint with upper-level private accommodation and scope for continued trade or alternative uses (subject to consents).
Key commercial strengths are the size and location: a 3,745 sq ft (approx) building on a 0.102-acre site, only a five-minute walk from the town centre and close to main transport links. The property sits within a recognised conservation area and retains traditional character that will appeal to operators and sympathetic redevelopers.
Material constraints are significant and factual: the building is Grade II listed and lies within a conservation area, which will restrict alterations and can add cost and delay to refurbishment or change of use. VAT is applicable and offers are invited in excess of £400,000 plus VAT. External space is limited and there is no obvious large rear garden, which affects potential expansion or outdoor trading.
This opportunity suits an investor or operator comfortable working with listed buildings and conservation-area constraints — someone who values location and character and understands the need for specialist consents and likely capital works. Exact trading potential, condition, and detailed conversion feasibility require inspection of full particulars, plans and surveys.
