You can dream, can't you?

If the difference isn't substantial though, can't you think of a slightly more innovative use for the pub elements and still end up with the decent house? Is there anything in that kind of business that would go down really well in the local community? A niche restaurant open just at weekends, a tea shop or a kid's party venue or something else like that?

Given the climate, I bet they would have an appetite for an offer of quite a bit below asking. If the owners are looking for an out into just a house they might even be up for a part/full swap!

Its all work you don't have to do though *&)

The problem is that running a business is more than a full time job and requires lots of family unfriendly hours. And it needs to make a profit in order to make it anything like worthwhile.

That one.

Given that they can almost certainly fit a couple of houses on the bowling green, I suspect they'd let it lie idle until they get the price they want. The brewery won't be that strapped fro cash. Yet.
