Characterful timbered pub with four en suite rooms and large trade garden near National Trust gardens.
Award-winning Tudor-style village inn with strong food-led reputation
The Lyon Inn is an award-winning, timber-framed village pub set on the A48 in the Severn Valley, close to National Trust Water Gardens and ten miles from Gloucester. The business combines strong food-led trade with four en suite letting bedrooms and an enclosed trade garden that seats up to 60 — a valuable mix for daytime visitors and evening diners. Recent turnover is approximately £320,000 pa (net of VAT), achieved with limited opening hours, demonstrating efficient margins and local demand.
Interior spaces retain genuine period character — beamed dining rooms, parquet and Tudor-style detailing — alongside a well-equipped commercial kitchen and practical service areas. The property benefits from gas central heating, a basement beer cellar with side delivery access, and owner facilities including an outbuilding hot-tub room. The location at the village centre, adjacent to the War Memorial and parish church, helps capture both local custom and tourists travelling the A48.
Options are available for either freehold purchase (price guidance stated separately) or leasehold (6-year term; rent £30,000 pa; full repair and insure lease). Trade freedoms and a broad premises licence (alcohol to midnight daily) support a variety of operating models, including continuing the current food-led concept or expanding opening hours and accommodation marketing to increase takings.
Notable negatives are factual and material: the business currently operates limited hours which both constrains and defines current turnover; leasehold terms require full repair and insuring obligations if taken; a bond and personal guarantees may be required for a company tenant; and the advertised freehold price and alternative price guidance vary across documents, so confirm the exact asking price and included stock valuation before offer. Buyers should survey the building for maintenance obligations typical of older timber-framed properties.
