- Trade garden for approximately 90 covers — strong outdoor capacity

A rare freehold opportunity on Poole High Street: the Grade II listed Kings Head occupies a prominent corner site with strong footfall and historic appeal. The property extends to about 5,081 sq ft over three floors, includes four-bedroom accommodation above, and benefits from a large trade garden that can seat around 90 covers — a genuine asset for operators or those seeking a significant hospitality footprint in a busy coastal town.
The building is traditional Georgian in character with sash windows, painted brick elevations and high ceilings internally. It currently holds Sui Generis public house consent and is sold with fixtures and fittings in situ. EPC C (75) and a 2023 Rateable Value of £20,200 provide useful operational benchmarks. Offers are invited in the region of £475,000 for the freehold with vacant possession after January 2026 (the property is tied until then).
Important constraints: the property is Grade II listed and lies in a conservation area — any alterations will be subject to listed building and conservation controls which may limit conversion options and increase costs. The pub is located in a town-centre area with relatively high crime and significant local deprivation, which may affect certain business models. VAT is applicable and TUPE may apply on completion.
