This character pub for sale has Victorian origins with colourful murals adorning it and includes owners' accommodation. 

The Dolphin, in Wellington, closed in January 2020 and has character period features throughout, including wooden and flagstone floors and exposed brickwork. 

On the ground floor of the property is the main bar, which has a central wood-burning stove and a wood bar servery, with this room capable of serving approximately 50 customers. 

The bar leads through to a snug, which has a fireplace feature, ornate ceramic floor tiling, and has previously been used as a pool room. 

There is also a single storey skittle alley, which is disused, and completing the ground floor is a galley kitchen, customer toilets, and an on-level cellar. 

Upstairs, the first floor includes two function rooms, which are separated by French doors, with an additional bar servery. 

The owner’s accommodation spans the first and second floors, with a kitchen/diner, two bedrooms, a sitting room and a bathroom. 

Outside, the rear grounds offer large areas of lawn, a wooden stage, a brick outbuilding once used as a beer store, and a small seating forecourt. 

The property is being sold by estate agent Sidney Phillips for a price of £515,000. 

The agent said: “The Dolphin is a semi-detached substantial Victorian property which at present features large colourful murals across the front and side elevations.

“There is potential to convert the property to residential and there may be scope for further development in the garden area (subject to relevant permissions being granted).”
