Summary - Red Lion, Shobrooke Village, CREDITON EX17 1AT
7 bed 1 bath Pub
Large site with letting rooms, gardens and strong conversion potential.
Over 4,500 sqft of trading and accommodation space
A substantial, characterful village pub on the edge of Shobrooke with expansive countryside views and strong flexible space for trade or conversion. The Red Lion dates from the 16th century and combines exposed beams and open fires with over 4,500 sq ft of public and private areas, plus generous gardens and parking for around 30 cars. Ground-floor layout includes two bars, a restaurant for circa 30 covers, a function room, commercial kitchen, cellar and storage — all suited to ongoing pub operation or alternative commercial/residential reuse subject to permissions.
Accommodation above provides useful income potential: three ensuite letting rooms plus two separate flats for owners or staff. There are seven bedrooms in total across the upper floors, giving multiple options for continued B&B trading or reconfiguration to residential use. The LPG central heating, mains services and a large kitchen support continued hospitality use without immediate major services replacement.
Notable points of caution: tenure appears inconsistent in the paperwork (advertised as leasehold in some places and freehold in others) — buyers must verify legal title. The building is old (original parts c.1500) and constructed in cob and brick, so refurbishment and ongoing maintenance are likely; any conversion will require planning and building-regulation checks. Rateable value and running costs should be confirmed — rates shown are indicative for 2025. Overall this is a rare, large village opportunity for an operator, investor or developer prepared to invest in upkeep and regulatory checks.
