A substantial freehold former country inn offering extensive accommodation and clear reconfiguration potential. The stone-built property occupies a prominent village position and includes a large bar area, ten self-contained letting rooms (most en-suite) plus a three-bedroom manager's flat. The building is recently closed but described as surprisingly well presented internally and benefits from off-street parking and a large plot.
Planning consent exists to partially demolish and reconfigure the site into four residential dwellings (scheme illustrated by a local architect). That consent gives a straightforward development route for a buyer wanting to extract residential value; the brochure estimates retail value for the proposed units in the region of £1.375m–£1.45m. Alternatively, the building could be returned to licensed hospitality use or repurposed subject to the necessary permissions.
Practical points for buyers: broadband speeds in the area are slow and there is an existing neighbouring right to park in one designated area of the car park. The property is vacant and being sold as a large-scale project — upkeep and conversion costs should be factored in. Flood risk is low and local crime is low, set in an affluent, rural village with good mobile signal and nearby schools.
This lot suits developers, investors or operators seeking a character-rich building with multiple value routes: refurbish and re-open as hospitality, convert to multiple homes under existing consent, or pursue an alternative mixed-use scheme (planning dependent). Bids are invited on a Best and Final Offers Over basis at £400,000.
