Drinking Establishment in BA22
*For sale via secure sale online bidding: terms and conditions apply.*
We are pleased to offer to auction this drinking establishment.
This stunning property has been renovated and restored within the current 10 year ownership and now offers both wonderful trade and customer areas, a self-contained apartment and further letting accommodation, as well as a private garden and car park.
The White Post Inn sits upon the county border and therefore offers glorious panoramic views over the neighbouring Somerset and Dorset countryside from its elevated position.
Upon entering via the porch, you are welcomed into the lobby and reception area with doors to the office, customer toilets and double doors accessing the restaurant.
The open plan lounge/bar/restaurant areas combine a blend of character features and picture windows overlooking the far reaching views, to create an unmatched setting for drinks and dining; with seating capacity for approximately 60 indoors and a further 24 out on the stunning roof terrace which further enjoys the ambient surroundings. There is a central bar equipped with all associated display racking and shelving, glass fronted bottle fridge, further low level fridge, EPOS touch screen cash register and five bar stools sitting in front.
There is a well equipped kitchen within convenient access to the restaurant, comprising: stainless steel five drawer under counter fridge unit, induction cooking suite and turbo fan oven. A separate hallway then provides access to stairs rising to the first floor and descending to the garage store and cellar areas.
To the lower ground floor there is a beer cellar, with multiple further appliances, wine racking, bottle shelving and a plant room housing the header tank and electric metres. There is then an opening through to the large garage providing extensive space for storage and housing the oil fired boiler.
The first floor provides the living accommodation, with a self-contained apartment offering a contemporary kitchen/living area (fitted with breakfast bar, oven, hob and integrated appliances), double bedroom and en-suite and large walk-in wardrobe. There are also three separate double en-suite bedrooms, formerly used as bed and breakfast accommodation but with easy potential to be used as letting bedrooms; with high demand locally, this is superb and profitable option for ancillary income.
Externally, the car parking area offers space for approximately 15 vehicles with a further gravelled area for staff parking and electric charging point. To the front of the pub sits a heated decked seating area (for approximately 30 customers) and to the rear sits the private garden, largely laid to lawn and enclosed with timber fencing. The boundary of the plot actually extends beyond this into the tree lined strip, down to the corner of the neighbouring farmers field.
The property has also had (now lapsed) planning permissions in the past to extend both restaurant and living areas.
The White Post Inn represents a wonderful and rare opportunity to acquire an extensive property set within a truly stunning location, held in high regard both locally and from afar for its fine dining experience and with obvious potential to utilise further income opportunities.
Please note we have not inspected this property.

ONLINE AUCTION NOTICE
I hereby acknowledge and confirm the following:
My bid may be accepted by the seller at any time before the close of the auction. It is subject to the terms and conditions of the auction which I have read and understood. I have read and understood the legal pack applicable to my bid/lot and agree to be bound by any special conditions within that pack.
If my bid is successful (whether as the highest bid or upon acceptance by the seller in the course of the auction) I shall be bound by the lot terms and conditions as advertised online.
Any amount payable at the close of the auction must be paid within 1 hour.
Please note that the bidding process will work in a different way to an eBay auction, so there is NO advantage to bidding at the last second.
Each auction will automatically stay open until there has not been a bid within the final 10 minutes. If no bid has been submitted within the final 10 minutes of the auction, the auction will close and the highest bidder will be successful subject to the reserve price being met or upon acceptance of an offer by the seller throughout the auction cycle. If there is another bid within 10 minutes of the last bid, the auction countdown timer will be restarted for another 10 minutes to allow further bidding. This system avoids last-minute (or second) bidding and makes for a fairer auction as in a live-room auction situation.
Please bid in good time before the end of the auction, delaying your bid to the last seconds may disadvantage you if your connection slows or you lose internet connectivity.
The auctioneer is not responsible for any tech issues, power outage or error messages which hampers or eliminates an individual's opportunity to bid.
It is the bidder's responsibility to ensure the bid has been lodged with the auctioneer. It is therefore beneficial to bid on your chosen lot at your earliest opportunity.
The auctioneer accepts no responsibility for bids that are not received or are received late and reserves the right to reject any bid without notice.
