Built as a hotel in the 19th Century, the Cardiff Arms is a three-storey property comprising a large open plan bar, five-bedroom owner’s accommodation and an enclosed trade patio area to the rear. The Cardiff Arms was sold for an undisclosed figure after Christie & Co sought £244,950 for the freehold interest.
