I don't think it has been mentioned yet, but 'your wall' will become an outside toilet. 

Lol, it has been mentioned!  If they decided to take a p*ss there however, they would be standing right next to their table - the passageway is very narrow, still - good point, folk tend not to care when they've had a drink.

Is the area cordoned off when the pub is closed?  If not, anyone who's walking past & caught short...

We back onto a pub garden. Children shrieking and stomping on the play equipment is the most noisy thing we experience. There are sounds of people laughing etc in the garden til 11pm in the summer, but nothing that has disturbed us too much as yet. Bottles go in their bottle bank in the daytime, I've no idea when their beer is delivered but we never hear it. I doubt the landlord is up at 6am receiving deliveries. Their food arrives at about 9am.

One thing I would be more concerned about, with a ground floor flat with a sea view in a tourist area, is the flat above potentially being a holiday let, either now or in the future. We love a couple of seaside towns not far from us, but decided against buying there as however much we spent, there was always the possibility of the neighbouring properties being holiday lets, with party central taking place 52 weeks of the year.

This has been for sale for a long time, can you guess why?!

Any drug problems locally? Could attract dealers once it reopens.

Not sure if the OP says that this would be their only home or an additional holiday home ? 

As someone who lives in a seaside town , near but not right next to more than one pub the 2 things of most concern  for many residents are the Covid relaxations of outside seating, much noisier , smoking etc and the turning of anything that comes up for sale within a mile of the sea into a holiday let . Particularly the larger properties that are glammed up as party properties. 

Yes I hear the beer deliveries and the glass bins but these are part of the everyday noise much like shrieking children in the suburbs. 

I still have permanent neighbours but we do all look at each other hoping that everyone is healthy and not planning a move to a retirement property.

I would avoid, and it seems from your OP you are also having similar second thoughts. 
A couple of points to raise:
1) the pub will inevitably change hands/owners and they may not be as respectful

2) you will have to put up with constant noise and roudiness. Right now you have no idea what the noise level is going to be like, at closing time you will have a lot of noise. Can you really see yourself enjoying being awoken at gone midnight Every night to the sound of many drunk people singing/laughing/screaming? 
3) the resellability of this property is incredibly slim, I don't know anyone in their right mind who would buy a property next to a pub unless they were deaf or liked drama. If you buy this property and want to move again, you will have the same issue you are considering here, little interest and lots of fallen through offers.

Mmmmmm.

Weve lived, 300m from the town centre, in a seaside town for 25 years and grew up in another for our first 25. I'd not consider truly understanding what it's like to live right in the centre of it all. 

Lockdown meant town was deathly quiet, nothing like the past and no indication of the future.

Love the way the agent has so diligently avoided mentioning it or showing it in any pics, then you get to the map in pic 18. Bet they’ve had viewers booked in who dismissed the house as soon as they pulled up outside.

The current owners have been there since 1997.   So it can't be that bad!

Maybe they've spent 20 years trying to sell it?
