A substantial freehold village pub on a prominent A359 frontage, The Marston Inn offers immediate trading space plus clear development upside. The main building presents two characterful bars, a restaurant with exposed stone and inglenook fireplace, a newly fitted commercial kitchen and a long skittle alley — all set within extensive grounds and lawns that currently seat around 120 guests. A large car park (c.35 spaces) and an additional grassed paddock add flexibility for events or future schemes.
The site sits on circa 0.7 acres and includes a detached former stable block that is ripe for conversion, subject to planning consent. The first-floor self-contained accommodation provides multiple bedrooms and living areas that could be retained for owners/operators or reconfigured into letting units, subject to permission. Practical positives include a newly fitted commercial kitchen, strong rural views, very low local crime and fast broadband.
Buyers should note material constraints: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and is likely to complicate conversion or development. The stable block requires remedial repair and any change of use will need planning consent. There is a medium flood risk to consider and trading is currently limited to part-week hours. Prospective purchasers should factor in listed-building constraints, flood mitigation, and potential refurbishment costs when assessing value.
This freehold suits an investor or hands-on operator seeking a rural pub with immediate income and scope to add value through sensitive refurbishment or planning-led conversion of outbuildings. Rateable value is modest and domestic accommodation is in Band B, which helps running costs; trading figures are available on request for serious enquiries.
