Set on about 0.38 acres, The Cross Keys Inn is a substantial former village public house with significant redevelopment potential. The stone-built building includes two bar areas, a games room, commercial kitchen, beer cellar, stores, and a separately accessed first-floor function room — offering immediate scope for continued hospitality use or conversion to residential or mixed-use, subject to necessary consents.
Externally there is tarmac parking to the side, off-street parking to the front and formal lawns to the rear, giving usable outdoor space for dining, events or additional development. The site benefits from a rural hamlet setting between Frome and Warminster with low crime, good local road links and no flood risk.
The property requires renovation and refurbishment throughout; buyers should factor in private drainage, existing LPG heating with an oil-fired boiler, and partial cavity wall insulation. It is sold freehold, currently elected for VAT and subject to an existing overage clause — these are material considerations for budgeting and future use.
This is best suited to a purchaser who can manage planning and building works — an investor or developer seeking a countryside conversion, an experienced operator wanting to revive a community pub, or someone planning residential redevelopment (subject to consents). Interested parties should carry out their own enquiries on planning, business rates relief and services before committing.
