Former village public house on a prominent roadside plot in Nettlestead, offered freehold. The two-storey period building (approx. 2,326 sq ft) sits on just under half an acre with a forecourt, car park and a large rear garden backing onto farmland. The site benefits from good visibility, nearby rail links at Yalding and straightforward road access to Maidstone and Tonbridge.
The property is currently boarded and appears vacant, presenting a clear refurbishment or redevelopment opportunity for a new leisure operator, conversion to residential use (subject to planning) or other commercial uses. The existing layout includes bar and dining areas, a commercial kitchen, an ancillary games room and first-floor accommodation, giving scope for different reuse strategies.
Buyers should budget for significant works: the building is derelict in parts and will require repairs, refurbishment or partial demolition; change-of-use and planning consents may be needed. The roadside frontage gives visibility but limits privacy and may bring access or traffic constraints that need resolving with local highways/planning authorities.
This site will suit a purchaser seeking a redevelopment project or an operator wanting a rural roadside venue with redevelopment potential. Its semi-rural setting and views across farmland are attractive, but the sale price reflects the investment and consenting work required.
