Sidney Phillips have announced the sale of the Whistle Inn, an iconic South Wales pub off a freehold guide price of £495,000.
The Whistle Inn is situated in the village of Garn-y-erw just off the B4248 on the fringe of the Brecon Beacons National Park and adjacent to the Heritage town of Blaenavon famous for its Big Pit National Coal Museum. It also stands adjacent to the Garn Lakes particularly popular with anglers. The Whistle Inn is unusual as it owns a railway station being the current terminus of Blaenavon Heritage railway; which is a steam railway which runs for 3.5 miles from the World Heritage site to the pub. There are also plans to extend the same track by the trust that operates and maintains the railway.
Even without the railway and other attractions the Whistle Inn is well positioned to attract traditional custom. It offers spacious trading areas and good owners accommodation. Furthermore stands in a plot of 2.7 acres which includes trade gardens, car parking and a camp site with 44 pitches, 34 of which are hard standing.
The property has been in the same owners hands for 4 years and with little promotion has a healthy level of turnover with considerable scope for further development.
