Set in the heart of Roborough, this freehold village pub offers an established trading layout and clear income history, making it attractive to investors or new publicans. The ground floor provides an open-plan bar and restaurant, a full commercial kitchen and a separate function room; the outdoor seating area is a strong summer income driver in this rural setting.
The property includes two-bedroom owner accommodation above the pub, allowing live-in management. Total internal area is substantial (2,928 sq ft / 272 sq m) and the large plot provides scope for expanded outdoor trading or additional events with planning checks.
The building’s traditional thatched roof, stone walls and period character are key selling points for customers seeking an authentic Devonshire pub experience, but they also bring specific maintenance and insurance considerations. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow and mobile signal is average — factors that may affect bookings, online marketing and modern point-of-sale systems.
Financially the pub offers a strong gross initial yield (GIY) of 9.36% with reported rental income of £23,400 pa. VAT is not applicable, and there is no flood risk. Its location in a small agricultural community means steady local trade but limited passing tourist traffic outside peak seasons.
