Currently enjoys sales circa £230,000 per annum, operated under management.

The thriving and much sought after dormitory village of Albrighton is located in Shropshire close to its border with Staffordshire and the nearby city of Wolverhampton. It is a sought after residential location due to its close proximity to Wolverhampton, Bridgnorth and Telford. It enjoys excellent communication links being between the A41 and the A464, just 2 miles from junction 3 of the M54 motorway. It also enjoys a direct rail link being on the Shrewsbury to Wolverhampton line. It is also the home to the world renowned David Austin Roses and is near to RAF Cosford. The village enjoys an excellent level of amenities with a large number of clubs, pubs, restaurants and shops to cater for its population of some 5,000.

The Harp Hotel holds a prominent location at the centre of the village with frontage to a small green along the high street with its mature and well planted tree line. The property appears to have originated in the nineteenth century and is constructed in the main of brick with part render and colourwashed elevations under predominantly pitched slate tiled roofs. It offers two well planned and easy to operate trading areas at ground floor with rear beer patio easily reached from both. At first and second floor is the owners accommodation which is appointed to a very good standard and provides scope for some letting accommodation..

Our clients purchased the business in 2014 and have operated it under management during its working life with them. Due to other business commitments and the logistics of operating the Harp from their Brewery in Wiltshire, they have decided to relinquish their interest and offer the business for sale.
