A rare freehold opportunity: a fully licensed, newly renovated Georgian village pub in Willington, trading strongly with a stated high level of profitability. The double-height bar area and modern-traditional counter retain period character while serving a capacity of around 100, supported by a popular beer garden and active darts/games trade.
The property offers practical owner accommodation over the first floor — essentially four bedrooms (three principal bedrooms plus dining room/bedroom), kitchen, bathroom and an office — making it straightforward to live on site or let to managers. A cellar and full mains services support trade operations, and a current rateable value of £8,700 is confirmed.
Location is a selling point for steady local custom: central on Willington High Street, close to schools and local amenities, and within easy driving distance of Bishop Auckland and Durham. That community support and village footfall underpin the business’s regular trade.
Buyers should note material local context: the area is classed as deprived with above-average crime, which may affect staffing, opening hours or insurance costs. The property is terraced and of historic construction, so ongoing maintenance and sympathetic repairs may be needed in future despite recent renovations.
