Summary - BELL INN, ROAD FROM TOWN FARM TO CHEZNOUS EX39 5JS
4 bed 1 bath Pub
Thatched Grade II inn with village position, Dartmoor views and visitor potential..
Grade II listed 17th-century thatched inn with historic character
The Bell Inn is a Grade II listed, 17th-century thatched village pub occupying a prominent roadside position in Monkleigh. The building's period stone and cob construction, original charm and long-range views across Dartmoor give it strong character and clear appeal to tourists and locals alike. Its large plot offers scope for outdoor seating, events, or modest expansion subject to consents.
This is a freehold commercial opportunity suited to an operator or investor familiar with running rural hospitality premises. The property includes public bar space, accommodation over first floor with four bedrooms, and a single bathroom — useful for owners living above the business or providing owner-occupied lets alongside the pub trade. The site benefits from proximity to the Tarka Trail, North Devon coast and local attractions, supporting year-round visitor demand in peak seasons.
Buyers must factor in listed-building constraints and higher maintenance costs associated with a thatched roof and historic fabric. Any alterations will require listed building consent and specialist repair work. Services in the area are average for mobile and broadband, and the village is small and rural, so staffing and supply logistics should be planned accordingly.
For an experienced operator the inn offers immediate trading identity, strong local character and multiple income streams: trading as a traditional village pub, holiday accommodation or event hire, subject to planning and licensing. The property is offered freehold with no flood risk but will suit buyers who accept conservation responsibilities and ongoing maintenance commitments.
