The White Swan, Station Road Bosham, Chichester, West Sussex, PO18 8NG

A detached Grade II Listed, two storey, brick built property with painted elevations and various pitch tiled roofs dating back to the 18th Century when it featured as a Coaching Inn. In the modern day it is known for being a real community hub with strong local trade, briefly comprising an open plan bar area, restaurant and three bedroom tenants accommodation. Externally there is a gravel surfaced parking to rear, trade garden and front trade patio.

The property was purchased by the owners in 2011 during which time they have operated the pub and invested significantly in the fabric of the building replacing the roof in its entirety in 2016. More recently they have let the property and are now seeking a buyer for the investment with the current tenant in situ.

The tenant is a well known local operator and former manager of the pub, who has been trading the business successfully since February 2020. The business is known for its award winning ales and locally sourced food.
