    Location

    These substantial, detached, stone built premises stand in a prominent position facing the A465, some 7 miles north of Abergavenny and 16 from Hereford. Pandy is in the centre of the lush and picturesque Monnow Valley which stands in the lee of the Black Mountains, close to the perennially popular Offa’s Dyke Path. The premises are located at a junction with the return road to Longtown, thence to Hay-on-Wye and the Upper Wye Valley.

    The Old Pandy is stone built in a Georgian style, being a substantial building in two parts with a converted barn. In total, the property offers approximately 4,500 sq ft of trading areas and accommodation. It is set in over half an acre and has an extremely large car park. It offers a traditional bar and games room, as well as a lounge bar and restaurant. There is extensive accommodation with the bunkhouse facilities (in two parts) able to cater for 24 guests. However, it may well be that a new owner would look to reconfigure the accommodation or possibly, subject to obtaining the necessary consents, convert the barn into two self-contained holiday lets or an independent owner’s house.

    The property is briefly described as follows:
