A substantial 16th-century country inn occupying around two acres on the Hartland Peninsula, offered freehold with an established trading history. The main house extends to approximately 7,500–8,366 sq ft and currently operates as a public house with nine en‑suite letting rooms, a three‑bed owners’ apartment, bar, restaurant, function room, kitchen and resident gym with hot tub. Ample off‑street parking, enclosed gardens and two level paddocks (currently used for caravans/camping) add versatile outdoor space.
The location in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty close to the South West Coast Path, Hartland village and local attractions supports year‑round visitor demand and leisure trading. There is scope to increase weddings, events and accommodation revenue, or to pursue partial/full redevelopment into multiple holiday lets or residences (subject to planning). Broadband and mobile coverage are good and there is no reported flood risk.
Material points to note: the property is historically unlisted and of traditional construction, so ongoing maintenance and sympathetic repair will be required. The site has private drainage and is partially business‑rated, so business rates and council tax apply; Rural Rate Relief may be available. Any change of use or redevelopment would require planning consent, and detailed financials are available only to seriously interested parties on request.
This opportunity suits purchasers seeking an operational hospitality business with land, or investors/developers prepared to manage a historic asset and navigate planning for alternative uses.
