THE WAIT goes on for a Flintshire pub that is currently looking for a buyer to breathe new life into it.

The Druid Inn at Pontblyddyn was initially put on the market in August 2021, just four years after undergoing significant investment. 

Last September, it was listed for auction through SDL Auctions at a guide price of £325,000.

That was £70,000 less than the asking price when it went on the market two years earlier.

But the building, which dates back to the 1800's, failed to sell.

On Wednesday (March 27), it returned to auction as it looked for a buyer once more, this time at a guide price of £250,000.

But the lot seven listing was suspended by Eddisons Auctions.

That means it will now go back up for auction in due course with a new date to be confirmed.

A description of the pub on the Eddisons listing reads: "Freehold pub/restaurant located in the village of Pontblyddyn.

"A detached two storey stone built character property conveniently situated along the A541 approximately three miles from Mold.

"The Druid Inn has been a licensed pub in Pontblyddyn for many years with a restaurant area seating approximately 60 supplemented by an external decked seating area and large car park.
