AGENT John Jeffery is marketing the Earl of Normanton public house between Allington and Idmiston.

The agent said: “This is a well-kept freehouse which is for sale as a going concern and offers a wonderful opportunity for someone to purchase a well-run, freehold public house free of tie, with a regular trade and on-site living accommodation.”

The current owners have run the business for the last 18 years with the help of two part-time employees. Meals are served every day and they have achieved a five-star “scores on the door” food hygiene rating. There is scope to extend the current trading hours.

The pub was a local winner of the 2014 CAMRA awards.

The pub, which has an extensive site frontage to the Tidworth road, comprises two bar areas, kitchen, toilets and beer cellar on the ground floor and a living room, “snug”, two double bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor.

There is plenty parking with overfill areas, if required, and a separate outbuilding which has been converted into two en suite bed and breakfast rooms which is currently the subject of a planning application for conversion and extension to a two-bedroom bungalow.

The agent is quoting a guide price of £545,000 for the freehold interest to include fixtures and fittings and stock at valuation.
