The Bell Inn is a charming, traditional pub nestled in the village of Cross Houses, just four miles south of the vibrant market town of Shrewsbury. Ideally positioned on the busy A458 en route to Bridgnorth, the pub enjoys the best of both worlds—strong support from a loyal local community and excellent passing trade thanks to its prominent roadside location. It’s also just a 7-minute drive from the popular National Trust site, Attingham Park—a 200-acre estate with a stunning Regency mansion that draws thousands of visitors each year.
The pub is a beautifully presented, detached pub set in picturesque surroundings, offering a fantastic business opportunity. Inside, the pub is arranged across two welcoming trading areas, both served by a central bar. The main bar comfortably seats around 25, while the restaurant area offers an additional 30 covers. The interiors are bright and inviting, with a relaxed, modern ambiance complemented by tasteful contemporary décor throughout. Two fireplaces add warmth and character, making the Bell a cosy and appealing destination year-round. All fixtures and fittings are in excellent condition, providing a turnkey opportunity for the next licensee.
Located adjacent to a small housing development with access from the car park, it boasts a spacious exterior including a large car park accommodating up to 30 vehicles and a generous enclosed grass beer garden with capacity for approximately 80 guests. This outdoor space offers tremendous potential for hosting beer festivals, community gatherings, and seasonal events.
The private accommodation consists of four bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a sitting room, all in reasonable order; there is a possibility of providing Bed and Breakfast if not all the rooms are used, subject to complying with regulations.
