6 Wiltshire pubs on the market you can buy right now

Under Boris Johnson's roadmap out of lockdown, beer gardens and restaurants with outside areas can open their doors to thirsty customers on April 12.

From May 17 indoor hospitality is set to open, where the rule of six or two household rule will apply.

But, not every watering hole will be able to open its doors to punters when lockdown restrictions ease, because several across Wiltshire need new owners.

So, if you've ever dreamed of owning your own pub now could be your chance.

Here are just a few of the pubs on the market, according to Rightmove.

Located just half a mile from the city centre, this traditional pub overlooks the River Avon.

According to Whatpub.com, up until the mid-70s the building was a boatman's cottage where boats could be hired.

To the north of the detached property, customers can enjoy sitting in the beer garden by using the 62 covers.

Another 38 covers are available so people can sip on a cold one while sitting outside beside the river.

Inside the pub, a further 56 covers can be used to serve hungry people looking for great pub food.

The George (Princess House) can be found in London Road and is divided into 11 rooms.

Its current use is a public house and a new owner has the potential to transform the beer garden into a social hub for customers.

There is already a bar, private accommodation and letting rooms, giving an owner the chance to revamp the building into a quaint pub.

The building also features a car park, terraced area and gardens, which could be used to extend.

The 15th century thatched property is just four miles from Shaftesbury - a market town in Dorset - and can fit 25 vehicles in the rear car park.

There is the opportunity to expand the pub by converting some of the owner's accommodation into letting accommodation.

There is a "huge demand in the area" for this, Rightmove's website states.

The pub is believed to date back as far as 1756 when it was converted from the village bakery and cottage into an inn.

The Three Tuns is the only pub nestled in the village, but draws customers from Hungerford - a historic market town - including drivers using the A4 and M4 to travel to the West Country.

In a bid to overcome challenges faced by coronavirus, a marquee has been erected which can be found at the rear restaurant area of the pub.

Is it thought the marquee adds an extra 40 covers.
