Freehold pub with letting rooms for sale in Kidlington

This property is marketed by:
Colliers

Description:

The Bell is very well presented pub with the advantage of having nine letting rooms and it is much larger than you first think; the original pub having been sympathetically extended into several cottages and having a large 'L' shaped extension added too.

There are getting on for 100 internal covers plus a super terrace at the front overlooking fields that faces almost due south and becomes such a sun trap that awnings are hung in the summer.

Letting bedrooms are so important to balance trade, and while the F&B space is fantastic, the nine letting rooms really boost the business. There are seven staff rooms too; perhaps offering scope for conversion to accommodate more paying guests.

The location is surely strong enough to be able to fill them.
