On the first floor, there is living accommodation with two or three bedrooms. Outside, there is a lawned seating area, a covered area, and a gravel car park with space for 35 cars, along with additional outside storage buildings.
The auctioneers added: "This detached building sits within the Walderton Conservation Area and is in good condition having been trading late last year and is the only pub in the village. "It would be well suited to continued use as a public house or may have potential for alternative uses such as guest accommodation or development, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable."
