A rare freehold opportunity in Sutton-on-Derwent: a Grade II listed, well-traded village pub with strong recent turnover and scope to grow. The business currently seats 80 inside with additional outdoor seating and substantial parking, delivering healthy adjusted profits in recent years. Included is a detached three-bedroom cottage used as owner accommodation or potential holiday let to boost income.
The building is presented in immaculate order following recent renovation and benefits from character features dating to circa 1670, plus modern double glazing and a commercial-grade kitchen. There is clear upside: introduce letting rooms or B&B (subject to planning), expand outdoor seating, or leverage Jervis House as holiday accommodation to increase turnover.
Buyers should note material constraints: the site is Grade II listed which will complicate alterations and require consent for significant works. Flood risk in the area is recorded as high and heating is oil-fired, which can affect running costs and insurance. Stonecroft is available separately for an additional £400,000 if extra accommodation is required.
This opportunity suits purchasers seeking a lifestyle business or an investor looking for a profitable village pub with diversification potential. The village location attracts both local custom and tourists, with good road links to York and nearby attractions offering steady seasonal trade.
