A rare freehold opportunity in Gloucester city centre, The New Inn is a Grade I listed medieval coaching inn offering 38 ensuite bedrooms, multiple public rooms and a large first-floor function space. The current owner revived a failing business in 12 months and the operation is now trading profitably, with immediate scope to increase revenues from the on-site events, courtyard dining and growing local demand.
The building’s Tudor courtyard, timber galleries and individually styled rooms are major commercial strengths, attracting staying guests, history tourists and event bookings. Its position 300 metres from Gloucester Cathedral, close to the railway station and the incoming university campus (opening 2025) supports strong demand from students, visiting academics, contractors and leisure tourists.
Material considerations are significant: Grade I listing imposes strict constraints on alterations and maintenance works, and historic fabric will demand ongoing specialist care and associated costs. The property sits in a very high crime and very deprived area, which may affect staffing, insurance and some customer perceptions despite the central, well-trafficked location.
This sale suits a buyer prepared to be custodian of a nationally important building and to invest in conservation-led improvements and targeted commercial growth. Trade fixtures are included; full trading figures and specifics of fixtures excluded as owner’s personal items are available from the seller.
