Large town-centre pub with development potential, sold as a refurbishment project.
Large traditional two-storey stone pub building and outbuildings
The Queen Street Tavern is a substantial traditional two-storey stone pub in a central town location, offering a large trading footprint and ancillary outbuildings. Ground-floor accommodation includes a public bar, lounge, customer toilets, a catering kitchen, detached cellar and stores; layout notes seating for up to 120 in the restaurant area and around 54 at the bar. A first-floor residential flat provides two bedrooms, lounge/kitchen and bathroom, useful for on-site management or rental income.
Practical benefits include a rear off-street parking area, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — helpful for modern hospitality operations or conversion to mixed use. The property is offered with redevelopment potential, subject to planning, which could appeal to an investor or developer prepared to pursue change of use or refurbishment.
Important drawbacks are clear and factual: the building appears dated in places and will require refurbishment to meet contemporary standards; the area is classified as very deprived with a local profile of constrained renters, which will affect trading dynamics and rental values. The tenure is listed as feudal, which can complicate ownership and redevelopment — prospective buyers should obtain specialist legal advice. Any redevelopment would need planning consent.
