The property comprises the ground floor of a larger three storey and attic mid terraced building of traditional construction. We understand that the property was originally built during the Victorian era, hence the ‘Victoria Inn’, and is claimed to be the first purpose built public house within the town.
The property has an attractive frontage with distinct period features, two ¾ height windows and central double door entrance.
The internal layout provides open plan and spacious accommodation, which also offers a degree of flexibility for future remodelling. The subjects provide a solid canvas for any purchaser to make their own mark whilst incorporating existing features such as ornate plasterwork, timber wall cladding and fixed timber bar serveries. Seating is provided through both perimeter fixed upholstered benches and loose chairs & tables. To the rear of the property is a walled beer garden, which has a concrete slab surface and loose timber picnic benches.
