A LANDMARK Somerset pub site is going up for sale at auction – with planning for six new homes.

The Ring O’ Bells, in Ashcott, near Street, is set to be sold during the David Plaister Ltd sale at Abbots Leigh on December 9, starting at 7pm.

Details for the former pub – which boasts a skittles alley and bar/restaurant – said: “An exceptional opportunity to acquire a brilliant site formerly home to an extended village pub and car park, located in the desirable village of Ashcott.

“This substantial plot offers full planning permission pending for demolition and redevelopment into six new build properties, presenting an exciting prospect for developers and investors alike.

“Strategically positioned in the heart of Ashcott, the site enjoys convenient access to local amenities, neighbouring towns, and key travel routes, making it an ideal setting for future residential homes.

“To be sold with vacant possession, this superb development opportunity provides the flexibility to refurbish or completely rebuild, delivering immense potential in a sought-after Somerset location.”

The details go on to list a “characterful bar and restaurant”, as well as a kitchen, office, and more.

Outside is the former pub car park, as well as some garden areas.
