Property Description

The Farthings is a community pub, sitting in the heart of a residential area, two miles outside of Blackburn town centre. The pub needs a local publican who is familiar with the area. The publican also needs to show experience in growing a sports and entertainment pub and can include those of all ages from the community. The pub is in good condition throughout and has an open plan trading area, with a good size function room to the rear. The trade kitchen is not currently in use but provides further opportunity for the new publican to grow this pub business by introducing a good value food offer.

Private Accommodation: The private accommodation is in good condition, comprising three bedrooms, a large living room, kitchen and bathroom.
