The bar area, which has a flagstone floor throughout and an inglenook fireplace, offers seating for 20 customers.

There is also a restaurant area arranged for 20 customers and a private dining area created by an old coaching arch with a bespoke pine dining table inside to cater for up to 12.

As well as the restaurant there are three causal dining areas including a reception area which can fit a further 32 people.

The pub also boasts a large beer with patio and lawn areas and even its own bar.

There is currently enough outdoor seating for 120 customers.

On the first floor of the pub, there are five ensuite bedrooms for letting and a manager's flat on the second floor.

There is also a separate cottage attached to the building, which could be used to live in or a holiday let.

Estate agent Sidney Phillips said: “The expression 'sympathetically developed' is a cliché often used to describe much improved older properties.

“In this instance, it would not do it justice; not only have superb trading areas been created, retaining the innate charm the property held, but the ergonomics and commercial layout are excellent, with the premises having the benefit of six interconnecting trade areas, providing relatively open plan space able to cater for 100 customers seated.

“It nevertheless still retains the original intimacy and separate trading areas which each have their own identity.”
