A substantial Grade II listed village pub in Stratton-on-the-Fosse, the Kings Arms combines sizeable trading space with three well-presented en-suite letting rooms and a separate one-bedroom owner’s flat. The property offers three interconnecting character rooms, a recently refreshed commercial kitchen, dedicated customer decking for about 30 and a rear car park for 25 — all positioned opposite Downside School in a well-known Somerset tourist and local-trade location.
This is aimed at an operator or investor seeking an established village business with accommodation income potential. The letting rooms are presented to a good standard and the trading layout — traditional beams, stone fireplaces and wooden floors — gives an attractive, authentic pub atmosphere that suits locals and visitors exploring nearby attractions such as Bath, Cheddar Gorge and Glastonbury.
Important commercial and legal points are clear: the business is currently trading under a 5-year tied agreement (TAW initially) with Red Oak Taverns, part-tied for some products, with an annual rent of £29,500. The property’s Grade II listed status provides character but will restrict changes and may complicate refurbishment or adaptation works. Rateable value is listed at £4,750 (current list).
Suitable buyers should factor in the tenancy terms, any tied supply obligations and listed-building constraints when pricing potential returns. The site’s strong parking, outside trade and village location create tangible upside for an experienced operator willing to work within the existing tenure and listed-building requirements.
