A PUB and petrol station in Powys have been put on the market for a combined price of just under £1 million.
The Trout Inn, in Beulah, and adjacent petrol filling station, are available for a combined cost of £985,000.
Advertised on Right Move, the sale is being handled by Christie & Co and is described as a “unique opportunity” to acquire a freehold site that includes a petrol filling station, convenience store and public house.
The Trout Inn and filling station is ideally located on the side of the busy A483 which benefits from constant traffic, with Beulah situated 8 miles from the market town of Builth Wells and 4 miles from Llanwrtyd Wells.
Nestled in the heart of Mid Wales, Beulah lies in the shadow of the little explored Cambrian Mountains, whose hidden delights include the Devil’s Staircase and the Llyn Brianne Reservoir, with scenery rivalling that of the nearby Elan Valley.
In the property description, the pub is described as having been run by the current owners since 2014, with the petrol station acquired in 2019.
“The Trout Inn and petrol filling station has been owned and operated by our client for a number of years, they are now looking to sell and semi-retire,” the Right Move site states.
“Based on a significant plot, the petrol station benefits from excellent levels of passing trade, repeat trade all year round and is ideally situated close to commercial and residential buildings.
“The business is well-established, conveniently located and offers an ideal platform for a new owner to take charge and look to take advantage of the great potential it offers.”
Describing the pub in detail, the website continues: “The Trout Inn makes the most of the fresh ingredients Wales has to offer, by serving traditional homemade meals, along with a good selection of beers, wines and soft drinks in a cosy environment.
“The main bar is directly in front of the entrance, with seating and a traditional fireplace setting on the left, a further seating area on the right and a separate function room that is available for private hire.
“Above the pub, you will find six double rooms with en suite bathrooms, that are presented to a high standard. The Trout Inn currently offers a reputable B&B service, which brings in additional income.
“The Premier store is in good condition and offers the customer a good experience with well-laid-out shelving, a large fridge, an ice cream freezer and a freestanding sales counter with one point of sale for the shop.
“National Lottery/scratch card terminal is located on the main sales counter with a display cabinet for e-cigarettes, e-liquids, vape kits and tobacco gantry behind the counter. There is an ATM and self-contained The Coffee Boss machine within the store.
“The petrol filling station benefits from CCTV and an alarm system. Staff toilets and facilities are to the rear of the trading area, including an office and well-sized stock room.
“Above the store, you will find the owner's accommodation, which is comprised of three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen and a living room, which is ideal either for an owner-operator or could be used as extra income as a rental.”
All fixtures and fittings will be sold with the business, with the filling station accommodating 10 nozzle's and four fuel tanks – tanks 1, 4 and 5 contain a combined 17,600 litres of diesel and tank 3 contains 26,800 litres of unleaded fuel.
“The current owners have owned the Trout Inn since 2014 and have improved trade and business,” the description adds.
“The owners acquired the convenience store and petrol filling station in 2019 and again have improved trade and have kept the premises well maintained.
