Located at Standerwick, the purchase of the pub includes first-floor owners’ accommodation, trading and restaurant areas, gardens, a large car park and land.

It is among 168 lots in the fifth sale of 2025 being held by one of the top five property auctioneers in the UK, Clive Emson Land and Property Auctioneers.

Senior Auction Appraiser Audrey Smith said: “The Bell Inn is a substantial, well-presented, freehold public house on a large corner plot.

“Outside, there are attractive patio areas and pub gardens with a large car park, as well as a further area of land/garden.

“The property is likely to be of interest in its current guise or to builder developers who may see the potential for further development of the land to the rear, subject to all the necessary planning consents.”

The whole site extends to 0.33 hectares (0.81 acres).

Described as "the perfect spot for family gatherings" by Discover Frome, nearby to the pub you’ll find lots of places of interest, including Longleat Safari Park, the beautiful Roman city of Bath, Centre Parcs with its cycle paths and ample countryside to explore.

You can find the Bell Inn at Standerwick, Nr Frome, BA11 2PR.
