A rare freehold investment in the New Forest National Park, this traditional two-storey village pub is let in its entirety to a private operator on a 20‑year lease expiring December 2044. The current contracted rent of £52,000 pa, five‑year open market reviews and annual RPI increases (2% collar / 6% cap except in review years) provide an established income profile and a rent deposit is held. The site extends to approximately 0.43 acres with parking for 18 cars and outdoor customer seating for around 68, offering strong trade potential in a rural tourist location.
Accommodation includes an open-plan ground-floor trading area with central servery, trade kitchen and customer WCs, plus ancillary stores and a separate cellar building. The first floor contains two bedrooms, a living room and a bathroom (tenant‑occupied residential accommodation). Externally the plot provides an enclosed rear customer area and parking; the building presents traditional character and appears well maintained externally.
Important investor considerations: the tenancy only has 20 years remaining from December 2024, which may restrict some lenders and affect mortgage availability. Fixtures and fittings are owned by the occupational tenant, and the purchaser should assume the business is sold as a TOGC (VAT implications depend on buyer VAT status). Broadband speeds are reported slow and the EPC is C (61).
This opportunity suits a buyer seeking a stable village pub income with upside at market reviews or a purchaser able to refinance or acquire in cash. The lease length and tenant ownership of trading fixtures are material points for underwriting and funding decisions; prospective buyers should satisfy themselves on lending, VAT and operational arrangements before offer.
