Characterful three-storey premises with trading areas, two flats and outside seating.
Grade II listed Georgian corner pub dating to 1603 with period features
A prominent Grade II listed corner pub in Kington with genuine mixed-use potential. The Lion dates from 1603 and retains period character—exposed beams, stone fireplace and a flexible open-plan ground floor split into two trading areas. The building includes a commercial catering kitchen, cellar, enclosed outside trading area and two separately arranged residential flats above, making it suitable for an owner-operator or investor seeking both trade and rental income.
The property benefits from a central town location adjacent to a public car park and the Offa’s Dyke walking network that supports steady visitor footfall. A premises licence for late opening is in place and the layout previously supported café, restaurant and pub uses; equipment such as a pizza oven and commercial extraction are already installed. Mains services and gas central heating are connected.
Important practical points: the building is listed and will present consent and maintenance constraints; Grade II status may complicate alterations and increase repair costs. The sale is by public auction with a guide of £240,000 and includes trade fixtures and fittings in situ, but the vendor has no trading accounts available. An administration fee (£2,000 + VAT) is payable on completion. Prospective buyers should carry out their own business viability checks, surveys and heritage consent enquiries before bidding.
This opportunity suits buyers who value character, location and flexible income streams and who are prepared for listed‑building management and the rapid timetable of an auction completion.
