SHROPSHIRE - WELL APPOINTED TRADITIONAL VILLAGE PUB

The Plough Inn is an imposing, detached free house in the village centre. The property is presented in very good order throughout, having the benefit of three internal trading areas with well appointed owners’ accommodation. It has a very good smoking solution and trade garden which can accommodate 60+ customers comfortably with room for more. It also has the benefit of a car park. The business has been operated by the same family since 1999 which is a testament to its success. It is only being sold due to the family’s retirement from the trade.

The village is in Shropshire, close to its border with Powys and is easily reached from the A5. It is a popular village due to its good communication links and close proximity to a number of towns in the region including Oswestry (5 miles), Llangollen (9 miles) and Wrexham (11 miles). It is 22 miles equidistant from the well-known cities of Chester and Shrewsbury.
