Characterful 17th‑century inn with large gardens and 30+ parking spaces.
Freehold village inn with fixtures, fittings and goodwill included
A rare freehold village inn in the Wye Valley, offered with fixtures, fittings and goodwill. The Sun is a centuries‑old, characterful building dating from the 1600s, surprisingly not listed, with a spacious traditional trading area, three upgraded en‑suite letting rooms and generous owners’ accommodation. The property sits in almost an acre with extensive trade gardens and parking for 30+ vehicles — an immediate draw for visitors and local events.
Trading has been reduced since the pandemic, with current opening limited to evenings and Sunday lunchtimes. Last year’s takings were approximately £70,000 (65% wet, 20% accommodation, 15% food); the business is deregistered for VAT. The pub benefits from comprehensive catering kitchens, a cellar with delivery access, and modernised letting rooms, so it can be reopened to fuller hours by a new owner seeking to grow revenue.
Practical considerations are clear: planning consent exists (Sept 2023) for a detached three‑bed house on the lawned domestic land to the rear, but that land is not included in the sale and would need separate acquisition. There is a medium flood risk for the area. The property is newly renovated in key areas but remains a traditional building, so ongoing maintenance and sensitive conservation of period features should be expected.
This suits an experienced operator or investor aiming to revive trading and capitalise on steady tourist demand from nearby Hay‑on‑Wye, river anglers and walkers. With strong mobile and broadband connectivity, very low local crime and ample car parking, the inn offers both lifestyle potential and tangible income avenues.
