FREEHOLD - It is often said that the local public house is the beating heart of any village. The Kings Head on Church Street is now the only functioning public house in the large village of Merriott and has been in operation since 1696! YES, 1696!The current owner, a well known local bought the pub several years ago as it was apparent to him and his family that the village needed should always have a focal point to socialise, relax and provide a setting for various functions.Merriott is very well located with ease of access to the A303 only a few miles North and Crewkerne with its mainline train station only a few miles to the South.We have on file the accounts for 2020 and 2021 and these show a continual profit despite the pub only been open on a part-time basis.With a fine reputation, catering to the local community and a captive audience as well as a central location which is easily accessed from many local villages allied with the capacity for growth this historic public house is definitely worth a look whether you want a full-time occupation or are looking at something to tide you over in retirement.To the front there is a private parking area for patrons across the road. There is a main front door opening to the pub interior, side driveway which provides access for deliveries and the separate function hall which houses two skittles alleys which are also used for entertainment such as weddings, Christmas lunches and dinners as well as other local functions.The rear has a covered terrace area with heating and seating and then a pub garden with an entertainment area (The Kings Shed), ideal for those summer garden parties and outdoor parties.If you have ever been tempted by the idea of running your own business, then this may be just the ticket to dip your toes in the water as the owner and his family are happy to stay on board for a month to help you get set up and running.The sale price will include all goodwill, fixtures, fittings, equipment and furniture making this a wonderful turn-key opportunity to take over a successful established community treasure.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
