Summary - EX20 EX20 2JT
10 bed 1 bath Pub
Rare freehold trading inn with sizeable grounds and letting income potential.
12th-century Grade II* listed coaching inn with historic features
An exceptional historic coaching inn on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, The Oxenham Arms offers a rare freehold opportunity in a beloved village location. The 12th-century, Grade II* listed building sits in around 3.2 acres of mature gardens, paddocks and field, combining significant heritage appeal with established trading accommodation: a main bar, snug, dining and breakfast rooms plus seven en suite letting rooms. The long-standing business presents immediate trading potential and holiday-let income in a high-visitor rural area.
The sale includes a detached three-bedroom bungalow providing private owners’ accommodation—valuable for an on-site operator or family. The property benefits from village amenities, nearby A30 access two miles away and Okehampton town four miles distant, with rail links to Exeter. Flood risk is low and the plot is substantially large, offering scope for outside events, parking or careful enhancement within planning and listed-building constraints.
Buyers should note this is a retirement sale of a Grade II* listed building within a conservation area; listed-status works and conversions will involve specialist consent, likely higher maintenance costs and administrative requirements. The historic fabric and age mean ongoing upkeep is expected. This is best suited to a purchaser experienced with running a rural hospitality business or an investor prepared to work within heritage rules.
Overall, the Oxenham Arms is a rare, character-rich investment with strong tourism appeal and substantial grounds. It rewards sensitive stewardship and offers multiple income streams, but it requires a buyer comfortable with listed-building responsibilities and the operational demands of an established country inn.
