A rare Grade II listed thatched freehouse occupying an extremely large footprint in the heart of the Marshwood Vale. The property includes two bars, dining room, skittle alley, commercial kitchen, cellar and a three-bedroom flat above, together amounting to about 4,488 sq ft of floorspace. Outside there is a substantial beer garden with decking, ornamental pond, barbecue/pizza oven area, and an off-street car park with in excess of 25 spaces.
This is a trading pub offered freehold with a short tenancy in place. The building retains strong period character—exposed beams, traditional thatch and rural charm—and benefits from ultrafast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The location is rural and quiet, about a 15-minute drive to Charmouth beach, and sits within an agricultural, remoter community setting that suits destination trade or conversion to alternative uses (subject to consents).
Important practical points: the property is Grade II listed, which will constrain alterations and will cause planning and maintenance difficulties. Partial works to the thatch are understood to be required, and the site uses private drainage via a sewage treatment plant. There are existing vehicular and pedestrian rights of way affecting the car park and defined access areas.
For an investor or operator this offers substantial scale, established trading spaces, extensive parking and external entertaining areas. For a developer or owner-occupier there is clear residential conversion potential, but buyers must plan for listed-building consent, thatch repairs, private drainage maintenance and the obligations of running or repurposing a historic building.
