Characterful North Norfolk freehold pub with trading history and holiday‑let potential.
Freehold village pub on 0.39 acre plot with large garden and car parks
The Vernon Arms is a substantial, characterful village freehold pub on a very large 0.39 acre plot, positioned about five miles from Cromer on North Norfolk’s coast. The building combines traditional flint and brick elevations with a multi‑pitched tiled roof and several single‑storey extensions, delivering extensive trading areas, a large beer garden and generous car parking suited to a busy village destination. Planning permission exists for conversion and two holiday dwellings, adding clear development upside for owner‑operators or investors.
Trading since 2005 with a strong Tripadvisor profile and a good level of turnover, the business is being sold as a going concern (freehold guide £795,000). The premises support up to 90 covers internally, external seating for 64+, commercial kitchen, cellar, storage and customer WCs, plus first‑floor ancillary accommodation (currently a lounge, bedrooms and kitchen/bathroom). A premises licence is in place for extended alcohol sales days and hours.
Material constraints are significant and are stated plainly. The building is Grade II listed and sits in a conservation area, which will restrict alterations and add consent complexity and cost. Heating is via an oil boiler and the main cook range uses LPG; these services will influence running costs and servicing. The property is operational — prospective buyers should conduct discreet initial visits and expect TUPE on transfer. EPC C (57) applies.
