Summary - Main Street, Straiton, Maybole, KA19 KA19 7NF
5 bed 3 bath Pub
Characterful freehold with trading basics and clear growth potential for an operator.
Historic stone inn dating from 1766 with period character
A rare freehold opportunity in Straiton: an 18th-century inn (circa 1766) formed from three stone cottages, with five bedrooms and substantial public rooms. The ground floor hosts a traditional pub and cosy bar, a large dining room suited to events or destination meals, plus a fully fitted commercial kitchen and guest facilities, so the building is operational for hospitality use.
The property sits in generous landscaped grounds with clear views toward the Hunter Blair Monument and benefits from off-street parking. Four substantial stone outbuildings — including a former stable — offer realistic scope for added income if converted (subject to planning). Current owners run a limited weekend service, so the business infrastructure exists with obvious upside for extended opening, B&B trading, or holiday-let conversion.
Notable constraints are factual: the EPC is G and energy performance will need addressing; broadband and mobile signal are average; the surrounding area records high deprivation indices which may affect local spend; and any change of use or conversion of outbuildings requires planning consent. The property is sold Freehold and currently presents as a large, character-filled building ready for owner-operators, investors or conversion projects.
For a buyer seeking a character asset with scale and flexible options, this inn offers immediate trading capability plus development potential. Expect to factor in energy-improvement works, planning risk for conversions, and a programme to grow trade beyond the present limited opening hours to realise full value.
