Full description
The Bull Hotel occupies a most attractive position in St. Davids Street and is an elegant Listed building with a pretty frontage. Having been run as a public house for many years with the current Owner seeking to retire, it is thought that there is considerable potential in this attractive property to develop the business particularly towards a restaurant for which there would appear to be a genuine opportunity. There is 3-Bedroomed Living Accommodation over and a good sized garden to the rear.
FULL PARTICULARS
Presteigne is a most attractive border town lying amidst beautiful countryside and with a good range of facilities available for a town of its size, it has been proclaimed nationally as one of the better places in the country in which to live.
