A rare 17th-century village coaching inn occupying a prominent spot beside the church in Petrockstowe. The Laurels Inn combines substantial, flexible accommodation (4–5 bedrooms plus owners’ quarters) with commercial spaces including a main bar, restaurant area and fitted commercial kitchen — useful for conversion back to trade, holiday lets or a large family home.
Recent works include a new roof, refreshed flooring and a multi-fuel burner; the property is newly renovated in parts but retains original character such as exposed beams and flagstone floors. The plot is large with two beer-garden areas and off-street parking for multiple vehicles. An adjoining former cottage offers storage or scope to expand (subject to planning).
Practical points to note: heating is LPG with a boiler and radiators, glazing updated before 2002, and external granite walls are likely uninsulated. The building will be sold at auction by the Modern Method of Auction — buyers must complete within 56 days, pay a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.5% (minimum £6,600) and purchase a Buyer Information Pack for £300. Prospective buyers should check mortgage suitability and survey for insulation, services and conversion costs.
This property suits an experienced buyer or investor seeking a character commercial/residential conversion in a remote agricultural community — the location is peaceful with low crime and good local community amenities, but services and broadband are average and the local area is classified as deprived which may affect some uses.
