The pub site is opposite Cardigan Fields Retail Park & JD Gyms – described as an “attractive location for young professionals”.

The building is understood to have been constructed in 1985 as a Joshua Tetley Heritage Inn, the listing states.

In the listing, Fox Lloyd Jones stated: "The position of the property is unrivalled, being on a major road network and so prominently positioned, with significant amenities on its doorstep”.
