Summary - Portland House, Whitchurch, ROSS-ON-WYE HR9 6DB
1 bed 1 bath Pub
Traditional inn with six en suite rooms and sizable enclosed trade garden.
Prominent A40 village location opposite Symonds Yat tourist area
A prominent village inn on the A40, the Wye Valley Inn offers ready-made accommodation and strong location appeal for tourists and outdoor visitors to Symonds Yat. The stone-and-brick building has traditional character throughout: two trading bars, a restaurant, six en suite letting rooms and a large rear trade garden. There is a substantial three-bedroom owners’ flat above, plus a cellar and useful external verandah.
The property is offered either as a freehold purchase including fixtures and fittings, or as a leasehold (six-year term). The freehold option provides full control and the largest upside for an operator prepared to reopen and market the business to walkers, canoeists and passing A40 trade. The large enclosed beer garden and flexible trading rooms are stand-out assets for summer and event trading.
Important constraints: the lease option has only six years remaining, which will make residential mortgage finance difficult or impossible and limits lender interest. The business is currently closed and no trading figures are available. The freeholder retains second-floor storage use, and the lease is part-repairing (tenant responsible for internal repairs and decorative upkeep while the freeholder keeps structural responsibility). Insurance charge and VAT apply to rental and premium under the lease terms.
This property suits an experienced publican or investor who understands short-term lease risks and licence-led trading, or a buyer seeking a freehold revival project in a strong tourist corridor. Reopening will require time and working capital but the accommodation mix and riverside visitor catchment give clear potential for profitable seasonal trading.
