Summary - THE STAGS HEAD INN, ROAD FROM FILLEIGH BRIDGE TO ALLER CROSS EX32 0RN
1 bed 1 bath Pub
Extensive waterside grounds and parking ideal for leisure operators or conversion.
Grade II listed thatched country inn with strong character
An imposing Grade II listed thatched country inn set in over 1.5 acres, The Stags Head Inn offers an established hospitality layout and strong diversification potential. The property combines a 30+ capacity main bar, formal restaurant and additional dining rooms, a fully equipped commercial kitchen and multiple lettings bedrooms — ideal for a purchaser seeking a trading freehold or a rural leisure conversion (subject to consents).
The grounds are a principal asset: waterside and lawned beer garden seating for 60+ customers, extensive parking for 30+ vehicles, useful outbuildings including a temperature-controlled bottle store, walk-in freezer, laundry and former skittle alley. The setting on the Fortescue Estate, close to Exmoor and North Devon coast, supports year-round visitor demand and short-break lets.
Notable constraints are material and must be considered. The building is Grade II listed, which restricts alterations and will affect any redevelopment or conversion costs. The property carries a high flood risk and a thatched roof and historic granite walls will require ongoing specialist maintenance. An approved planning consent to convert an outbuilding has lapsed, and any future change of use or development will need fresh consents. EPC rating E and oil-fired heating may require efficiency upgrades.
For an investor or operator, this is a rare freehold opportunity combining significant indoor capacity, substantial external trading space and ancillary accommodation. The site suits continued pub/inn operation, managed holiday accommodation, or a carefully designed redevelopment plan — but budget realistically for listed-building works, flood mitigation and thatch upkeep.
