Ground Floor –
Accessed via a lobby/hallway to the front which leads into the main trading spaces.

Main Bar – To the right of the main entrance, this room is currently decorated and fitted very much in the style of a traditional village inn. There is a single bar server with carpeted flooring and seating on a mixture of perimeter benches and stools set at loose tables. Adding to the village inn feel is an open fire with brick surround.

Snug – To left of the main entrance is a separate room which acts as the snug. Again, with its own bar server it has stripped wood flooring, half wood panelling to the walls and brick fireplace with wood burner. Comfortable seating is offered.

Dining Area – Accessed through the main bar, this space can comfortably accommodate 20 covers on high back chairs set at loose tables. During the summer months there are French doors leading to one of the beer patios. Similar to the other trading spaces there are stripped wood floors, half wood panelling to the walls and a brick fireplace.

Restaurant/Private Dining – Sitting to the rear of the main bar, this space is ideal for private parties or dinners during business periods. It can accommodate 14 covers with seating on high back chairs set at loose tables. Décor is in keeping with the rest of the trading spaces with carpet and brick fireplace.

Ancillary accommodation at this level includes catering kitchen fitted with extraction and a range of stainless fittings, ladies and gentlemen’s customer toilets, office and access to the beer cellar.

First floor –
Owners/Managers accommodation which consists of 3 bedrooms, lounge, kitchen and bathroom fitted with 4-piece suite.

To the rear is a recently constructed L shaped block that accommodates 4 double and 2 family ensuite letting rooms. These are fitted to a high standard with 3-piece bathroom suites. All have access to a small patio area with disabled access available for 1 of the rooms. External storage also forms part of this block.

External Areas –

The property has always been let out by our client and the previous owners. A new tenant is sought with vacant possession to be offered upon completion.

It trades as a traditional village inn with the main focus on food. Drinks are mainly ancillary to the food, although there are small core of regulars. The wet sales do tend to be stronger during the summer months when people can sit outside.

Food is traditional pub style food and proves popular year-round. The rooms have not long been in operation but appear to have been under utilised to date.

This represents an excellent opportunity for a new operator to establish the White Swan as one of the leading village pubs in the area. A strong and focused food offering can gain a good reputation and following. This would be the main driver of the business moving forward. The rooms offer a low maintenance way to enhance the turnover. Locally targeted events would help to enhance the wet sales.
