Summary - STURT ARMS MORCHARD ROAD CREDITON EX17 5LP
6 bed 1 bath Pub
Food-led village destination with parking, beer garden and letting-room potential.
Freehold Victorian village inn on prominent A377 trading position
The Devonshire Dumpling is a well-presented, characterful food-led village freehouse occupying a prominent A377 trading position in Morchard Road. The substantial Victorian building combines a 38+ seat lounge bar, a 32-seat conservatory dining area and a further dining/breakfast room, supported by a fully equipped commercial kitchen and ancillary wash-up and cellar facilities. Externally there is an enclosed beer garden with alfresco seating for 40+, customer parking for 22+ cars and useful outbuildings.
The property currently offers two ensuite letting bedrooms and flexible 2–3 bedroom owner’s accommodation with separate sitting rooms, office/occasional bedroom and multiple shower/WC facilities. The business has a strong food-led reputation, benefits from passing trade (bus stop and nearby rail station), proximity to the Two Moors Way and offers immediate scope to increase opening hours and revive wet-trade or grow accommodation income.
There is clear development upside: the former skittle alley previously obtained consent for three letting rooms and various outbuildings could be repurposed subject to necessary planning permissions. Practical points to note are the shared private sewerage system and LPG bottles used for cooking; purchasers should allow for any servicing or connection considerations. The sale is freehold and offers an operator a rare opportunity to own a substantial village inn with strong foundations and tangible growth potential.
