A POPULAR freehold village pub in West Somerset is for sale as the current owners retire.

The Lion Inn, in Timberscombe, is on the market with Peninsula 22 at an asking price of £375,000.

The long-established pub and restaurant is currently trading on limited opening days and hours to suit, owing to retiree operator.

The character property retains many original features including exposed timbers and a wood burning system supporting heating and water.

It features spacious ground floor trading areas, comprising a main bar area, restaurant areas, games room and snug with pool table and darts throw supporting two teams.

There is a currently unused fully equipped and recently refurbished stainless steel trade kitchen.

The Lion also features an upper sun deck and outside tables, and a currently unused former skittle alley/function room.

Above is a substantial self-contained five bedroom owners' accommodation.

Recent trading information, limited by choice, shows an annualised turnover of £120,000, although the agent claims historic financials support the assumption that a projected turnover of £360,000 per annum could be easily achieved by competent operators.

A spokesperson for RightBiz said: "The Lion Inn is an ideal family operation or husband/wife team/partnership (chef) in a beautiful location equidistant of both Minehead, Somerset, and Tiverton, Devon."
