The Bird in Hand is a traditional two storey public house, understood to have originally been a Cider House from at least the mid 19th century, although some parts are reported to predate this. It has been extended in recent times and provides for a charming village inn with public bar and separate restaurant. Currently closed the property is available for sale with the trade inventory as the owner looks to retire after 24 years ownership. With a central position in a popular village on the Somerset levels the plot extends to 0.37 acres and (subject to planning consent), opportunity exists to develop currently redundant outbuildings to the rear for letting rooms and ancillary accommodation.
