This historic 16th-century property, spanning approximately 7,500 square feet, offers a unique investment opportunity just off the Atlantic Highway, nestled between Devon and Cornwall. Set on around two acres of land, this unlisted public house currently operates with nine en-suite guest rooms, a full-service bar, restaurant, lounge, function space, and a three-bedroom owner’s apartment with picturesque countryside views. Additionally, there is a gym equipped with a hot tub area for residents and gym members.
The property is positioned within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty near the Hartland Peninsula and is surrounded by open countryside. The South West Coast Path is nearby, providing access to breathtaking coastal walks characterized by steep valleys and sandy beaches. Hartland village, located just four miles away, boasts a vibrant community with essential amenities such as cafes, shops, a Post Office, medical center, and primary school. Local attractions include Clovelly's famous cobbled streets and the historic Hartland Abbey.
With close proximity to the Cornish border and easily accessible coastal towns like Bideford and Bude—both just a short drive away—this location combines rural charm with convenient access to urban facilities. For those commuting or traveling further afield, Barnstaple is approximately 40 minutes away by car and offers rail connections to Exeter. Junction 27 of the M5 motorway and Tiverton Parkway station are around 90 minutes away.
Given its size and versatile layout, there exists substantial potential for renovation or redevelopment into residential units or holiday accommodations (subject to planning permissions). Currently functioning as a successful public house since 2003 under owner management, opportunities for expansion into event hosting such as weddings or corporate meetings may also be explored.
The grounds feature ample parking spaces alongside garden areas that serve both as outdoor dining spots for patrons and potential camping sites. With two level paddocks currently utilized for caravanning but adaptable for equestrian use or smallholding projects, this property caters to various investment strategies.
Mains electricity and water are connected to the property along with private drainage systems. Gas central heating ensures year-round comfort. Internet connectivity through ultrafast broadband supports modern communication needs while mobile service is likely available from major carriers in the area.
This property represents not only a business venture but also an opportunity to enhance its existing offerings or reinvent it entirely in this beautiful part of the Westcountry.
