This week's hot property
The 300-year-old Star Inn in Watchet, North Somerset - otherwise known as CAMRA's Somerset Pub of the Year 2006 - is on the market with Christie+Co.
The freehouse, described by the chair of the Somerset branch of CAMRA as "a super little pub" has established an excellent reputation for real ales and has been featured in the Good Beer Guide for the last five years. A detached stone property in a popular holiday resort, it features a public bar with snug and a separate restaurant.
The pub has immense character with exposed beams, slate-tiled floors and a wood-burner, while there is three-bedroom owners' accommodation as well as a new, luxurious, two-bedroom letting cottage.
There is huge potential to increase sales as the pub does not currently open throughout the day, even during the summer season.
