Main Street, Lilliesleaf, Melrose

A wonderful opportunity has arisen to purchase The Plough Inn, located in the idyllic Scottish Borders village of Lilliesleaf. Formerly trading successfully for many years as a popular restaurant and bar with accommodation and recently renovated. The Plough would lend itself to many types of similar uses, including B&B, Air B&B, or Restaurant/Bar. The property would also make a fantastic family property with the possibility of five bedrooms, five bathrooms and an abundance of family living space (Subject to change of use permissions.) The property currently has a bar area, lounge, public WCs, a commercial kitchen, office and four double guest rooms all with stunning en suite shower rooms. Outside there is a large customer car park directly across the road with further off street private parking to the side of the building. There is also an elevated beer garden to the side and further gardens to the rear. Viewing is a must to fully appreciate the flexibility of this property.
