Set in the centre of picturesque Elham, this Grade II* timber‑framed inn dates from 1451 and has been sensitively restored to retain abundant historic character. The ground floor offers multiple trading rooms: a snug with inglenook, a split‑level restaurant seating c.40, and a character bar with additional rear bar, plus a well‑equipped trade kitchen and cellar. Outside provides generous front and rear trade areas and off‑street parking for six cars.
Upstairs there are five en‑suite letting rooms and a two‑bedroom owner’s flat, giving flexible income or owner‑operator use. The building is recently renovated and benefits from mains services, a full premises licence and excellent mobile signal. Its AONB location, low local crime and proximity to Canterbury and coastal attractions support tourist trade and letting potential.
Important constraints are factual: the property is Grade II* listed, which will complicate alterations and any residential conversion (STPP). The business is currently closed, no trade figures or historic accounts are provided, and any purchaser must form their own assumptions about future takings. Conversion to a single dwelling would require planning consent from the local authority.
This freehold offers either continued operation as a distinctive village pub with letting rooms and outside trade space, or long‑term alternative use subject to planning. Suitable buyers are those seeking an income asset with unique historic appeal or a buyer willing to manage a listed conversion process.
