Profitable freehold with development upside and established holiday trade.
Award-winning inn with strong trading history and public areas
A rare freehold opportunity in the Lake District National Park: Brook House is a substantial country inn with an established, award-winning trading history and clear development potential. The business currently operates eight letting rooms, two staff bedrooms and an owner’s flat, producing an adjusted net profit of circa £200,000 per year — a figure that supports a healthy investor yield or strong returns for an owner-operator.
The property sits on a large 0.35-acre plot with a sizeable rear car park (parking for up to 16 cars) and beer gardens to front and side. The ground floor offers four public rooms and a well-equipped commercial kitchen suitable for continued hospitality use or private events. There is scope to extend the rear annex and add around 150 sq/m, which could increase accommodation to roughly ten holiday units or additional revenue spaces.
Buyers should note the hamlet setting brings tranquillity and National Park appeal but limited mobile signal; however, fast broadband is available. The location and existing reputation depend on tourism and hospitality demand, so continued profitability is linked to effective management. The building is traditional stone construction with outbuildings and will require ongoing maintenance and possible refurbishment to develop additional accommodation.
This lot suits an experienced hospitality operator or investor aiming to retain trading income and add value through modest development and professional management. It offers immediate trading cashflow with practical options to raise capacity and future returns, balanced against remote access and the upkeep needs of a period property.
