White LionWherwell, Andover, SP11 7JF

Description
The pub sits on a plot of 0.426 of an acre (0.172 hectares). The building dates back to 1611 and is Grade II Listed, detached and is arranged over two storeys with a single storey thatched outbuilding to the west of the site. The property has the benefit of a 20 space car park beyond this point.

Internally, the public house is traditional in form with a cosy feel, arranged with a number of interconnecting rooms surrounding a central bar servery. There is a commercial kitchen, cellar and WC facilities provided also at ground floor level. The owner’s accommodation is provided at first floor level.

Externally, there is a large L-shaped thatched outbuilding. Part of the building offers a further bar servery and covered drinking area with the remainder used for storage. There is an attractive external drinking area with loose tables and chairs to the front of this building.

To the west of the outbuilding, there is a 20 space car park. In our opinion, this offers scope for possible small scale infill with a sensitive design solution (STP).
