And this week's hot property is...

Boasting its own microbrewery, the Dartmouth Inn, in South Devon, looks an attractive proposition.

The pub is a popular community venue with a strong following of sports teams. The microbrewery is fitted with modern temperature-controlled equipment and is being sold as a separate feature to the leasehold interest of the pub.

It is capable of producing barrels of cask ale which could be sold in the pub as one of the regular cask conditioned ales.

The accommodation comprises a trading area which leads to a games room with a real fire, a separate snug, an outside trade courtyard and limited car parking space.

The private accommodation is very flexible and offers either a very spacious three-bedroom flat or alternatively two en-suite letting rooms and a self-contained one-bedroom flat with lounge, bathroom and fitted kitchen.
