Set on Saxon Green, this freehold village pub combines a traditional public bar, a modern restaurant and a nine‑room en‑suite B&B. The business has traded for centuries, benefits from established local and tourist trade, and reported a year to 31 March 2025 turnover of £388,326 with gross profit £290,349. The property underwent extensive refurbishment in 2022 and a B&B extension was added in 2018, so most customer areas are presented to a high standard.
The operation is owner‑managed and suits an active operator or investor looking for a turnkey pub-with-rooms. There is a large private car park, a sizeable garden, beer cellar and garage, plus seating for 72 covers across restaurant and lounge diner. Accounts are available to prospective buyers and the vendor is selling due to retirement, creating an immediate hands‑on opportunity.
Notable limitations include very slow broadband on site and a small overall plot, which may restrict some growth plans or digital-first marketing. The wider area shows industrious hardship and average deprivation levels, so future turnover will rely on continuing to attract tourists and strengthening marketing/community trade. With clear scope to increase off-peak occupancy and promote events, the business offers room for revenue growth under an ambitious new owner.
