Pub full of character and possibilities in 'haunted' area on Shropshire border hits the market
A historic pub in a supposedly haunted area just across the Shropshire border that is described to be "overflowing with ghostly charm" has been listed for sale.
The West Arms in Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog, just 10 miles west of Oswestry, has hit the market with a guide price of £575,000.
The listing presents an incredible opportunity to acquire the lovingly restored boozer, which is nestled within the Ceiriog Valley and boasts stunning views across the hills.
The Landwood Group, which has listed the Grade II listed, 16th-century pub, said it is surrounded by "spine-chilling sights", including Valle Crucis Abbey, once home to Cistercian monks and reportedly renowned for its eerie ghost sightings and mysterious apparitions of monks in solemn procession.
Moreover, just 10 miles away is the "notoriously haunted" Hand Hotel in Llangollen, an old coaching inn, where witnesses have reportedly said to have seen the ghost of a lady dressed in grey wandering around at night.
And, if that’s not enough, the nearby Berwyn Mountains were the site of a reported UFO sighting in 1974.
The characteristic pub boasts four dining rooms, three lounge/bar areas, and a cosy snug with an inglenook fireplace.
The Landwood Group said the restored inn is a "haven for history buffs and thrill-seekers alike".
It also features 14 letting rooms, a newly fitted catering kitchen, well-maintained cellars, and a large beer garden/external entertaining space, and is set to continue its life as a boutique hotel or destination pub "for the right buyer".
Associate director at Landwood Group, Amy Selfe said: "Despite its extraterrestrial postcode, this historic pub is a remarkable building that has stood the test of time and remains at the heart of the community.
"Whether you're a seasoned publican or an investor seeking something truly unique, this property has it all.
"We're excited to bring the West Arms to market and look forward to connecting it with the right buyer."
Available with vacant possession, further information on The West Arms can be found on the Landwood Group website.
