Summary - WINDWHISTLE INN CRICKET ST THOMAS CHARD TA20 4DQ
1 bed 1 bath Pub
Large event-ready site with camping potential and strong roadside visibility.
Substantial 4.7-acre plot with extensive outdoor trading areas
A substantial roadside inn set on about 4.7 acres, the Windwhistle Inn offers a rare commercial landholding with diversified income potential. Internally the building provides c.200 covers across a public bar, restaurant, breakout dining and a large function room, supported by a commercial kitchen, stores and cellar. A self-contained three-bedroom flat above gives owner-occupier flexibility or staff accommodation.
Externally the site is a standout: extensive terraces and a beer garden for 250+ covers, separate outside bar, children’s play area, a camping field with 12 electric hook-ups and ample parking for c.60 cars. The plot’s size and roadside A30 position make it suitable to retain hospitality use or explore alternative uses (camping/caravan park, farm shop, extra accommodation) subject to planning.
There are important practical and legal points for buyers. Services (private water and drainage) are noted as connected but untested and broadband is very slow. The land is agricultural grade 3 with camping limited to 60 days without further consent; any significant redevelopment or disposal triggers a 50% overage payable to the vendor for 15 years. EPC rating C (57) and current rateable value apply.
For an investor or operator wanting a large, flexible hospitality site in a rural roadside location, this property offers scale and event capability. It requires informed due diligence on services, planning for extended campsite/caravan use, and budgeting for any refurbishment or service upgrades.
