Freehold pub with letting rooms, garden and large car park in walker-friendly village.
Six en-suite letting bedrooms recently refurbished
A substantial stone-built country inn set in the heart of Knucklas, well positioned for walkers, tourists and local trade. The Castle Inn combines a characterful lounge bar and restaurant, a separate two-part function room and a commercial catering kitchen, all supported by a large hardcore car park for approximately 16 vehicles and a terraced trade garden with countryside views. Recent investment added a letting room and upgraded fire alarms; six en-suite letting bedrooms are presented to a good standard.
The property includes comfortable three-bedroom owners’ accommodation with private lounge, kitchen-diner, family bathroom and separate shower room, allowing on-site management. Trading areas are traditional in style with exposed beams, stone and oak finishes that suit the market for a cosy country inn. The catering kitchen, walk-in dry store and utility/prep room provide practical arrangements for continuing a food-led business or events trade in the function room.
This freehold opportunity offers multiple income streams: wet-led bar, restaurant covers, six letting rooms, and function-room hire. Footfall is supported by the village location on the Mid Wales line and proximity to Offa’s Dyke and the Knucklas viaduct. The plot is large and includes a double garage and outside seating for around 40 customers.
Important considerations: mobile phone signal in the area is reported as none, which may affect some modern customer expectations and online check-in processes. The wider locality is classified as very deprived, which can influence local spending patterns; however, tourist and walker demand in the Upper Teme Valley partially offsets this. Broadband speeds are reported as fast and there is no flood risk. Asking price: £397,500 (freehold).
