Turnkey pub with rooms, strong trading and 1.19 acre site — scope to grow events and accommodation income.
Annual turnover £1.4m; EBITDA £174,000 (Y/E March 2025)
A well-established country inn on a substantial 1.192 acre freehold site just outside Bridgnorth, The Down Inn combines bar, carvery, restaurant and 11 en‑suite letting rooms with a strong recent turnover of £1.4m and EBITDA of £174,000 (Y/E March 2025). The business has traded successfully for over two decades and hosts weddings, functions and regular local trade.
The property offers genuine upside for an operator or investor: clear scope to grow digital marketing, increase events and refine accommodation rates, plus separate front and rear parking that supports larger bookings and weddings. The EPC rating of B is a positive for running costs and marketability in rural locations.
Buyers should note the building’s age and rural construction: stone walls are assumed to have no insulation, the property was built before 1900 and double glazing dates from before 2002. The heating is oil‑fired via boiler and radiators and there are signs the dining area needs modernisation and may require attention for potential mould in exposed‑beam areas. Business rates and staffing commitments are material running costs; the Rateable Value is £68,750 from April 2023.
This is a genuinely turnkey hospitality business on a large plot with owner accommodation included, suited to experienced operators, investors or family buyers seeking an established country inn with immediate trading income and room for operational improvement.
