This is a rare mixed‑use Victorian property in the centre of Little Birch, offered as a freehold retirement sale. The building combines a ground‑floor bar/restaurant with a separate professional kitchen and bar area, and five-bedroom accommodation above, totalling about 2,511 sq ft. Set in a rural village with countryside views and a garage plus garden, it suits a buyer seeking a live‑and‑work lifestyle or an investor after an income‑generating asset close to Hereford.
The commercial spaces are functional and characterful — exposed beams, stone floors and a cosy lounge with a log burner — but the decor is dated and the public areas will benefit from refurbishment to unlock higher takings. There is clear conversion potential to increase accommodation or reconfigure rooms, subject to planning and building regulations. The property currently has a single bathroom for the five-bedroom accommodation, which is a practical consideration for a family or multiple-occupancy plans.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, very low local crime, no flood risk and village schools rated Good to Outstanding within easy reach. Key operational notes: the commercial element provides immediate income potential but brings ongoing management and maintenance responsibilities. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average, so plan for connectivity upgrades if remote working or digital bookings are important.
Overall, this is a characterful, countryside mixed‑use opportunity. It will reward buyers who can invest in sensible refurbishment and modernisation, or operators who want an established village pub with scope to increase both accommodation and income.
