Property Description
A refurbishment project of around £135,000 is planned to transform The Bell into a premium local pub with food, sport and entertainment at its heart. What would you do with this pub to make it a success?
The area
Shifnal is a thriving market town in Shropshire, around 4 miles east of Telford and within easy reach of Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton. It benefits from strong transport links, including a nearby rail station, which makes the town accessible for both locals and visitors. The high street offers a good mix of shops, restaurants, hotels, hairdressers and a local football club, all of which help generate steady footfall. More than 3,000 adults live within a 10 minute walk time, giving the pub a solid customer base.
Surrounded by attractive Shropshire countryside, Shifnal also draws leisure visitors, so the trade is not limited to local residents alone.
The offer
The Bell is available on our Investment Tenancy agreement. Click here for more information on this agreement.
The planned refurbishment will refresh the pub both inside and out. Externally, repairs to gates, drainage and guttering, along with jet washing and repointing, will help smarten the building and its surroundings. A new timber pergola with a retractable roof and heat lamps will also enhance the outdoor area and create a more inviting space for customers to enjoy throughout the year.
Inside, the pub will benefit from redecoration to painted areas, new lighting, new chairs, fresh window dressings, new drinks shelves and selected new floor finishes. Some existing furniture and flooring will be retained and freshened up to keep the character of the pub intact while giving it a brighter, more welcoming feel.
The vision is to create a comfortable and friendly local that appeals to regulars, commuters and visitors. We are looking for a licensee who enjoys being part of the community and has the drive to keep the pub lively throughout the week.
The domestic accommodation will also receive practical improvements, including repairs to bathrooms and flooring, making it a more comfortable place to live and work from.
