Key Features
Location
The Beaufort Arms has recently undergone a complete refurbishment and is now presented in very good order throughout. It is a traditional village pub with letting rooms that has developed an excellent, family-orientated reputation alongside a well-established food trade. The building itself is constructed of stone with render and colourwashed elevations under a pitched slate roof. It offers easy to operate trading accommodation with the benefit of three en suite letting bedrooms and a trade garden. It also provides very comfortable owners’ accommodation.
The village of Gilwern is a sought-after residential location within Monmouthshire being set just 2 miles west of Abergavenny within Brecon Beacons National Park. The park attracts a huge number of visitors throughout the year, especially those enjoying outdoor pursuits including horse riding, walking and mountain biking. The village also benefits from its location on the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal for which it has a wharf at the edge of the village, within easy walking distance of The Beaufort Arms.
The building has been sympathetically renovated by the current owners and provides very good trading and private areas. There are further plans to develop a restaurant at lower ground floor level but the current owners have decided to stop the proposed development as they wish to sell their interest in the premises and retire from the trade. The potential offered by the lower ground floor restaurant provides undoubted scope for new owners to develop the business further, if required.

The Business
