Description

This extensive, unlisted property dates back to the 16th century and encompasses approximately two acres along the Atlantic Highway, marking the border between Devon and Cornwall. With around 7,500 square feet of space, it currently operates as a public house featuring nine en-suite bedrooms. The property also includes a separate two- to three-bedroom owner's apartment that boasts attractive rural views, as well as a gym and hot tub area accessible to residents and gym members. The potential for redevelopment here is noteworthy. The property is positioned in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the outskirts of the Hartland Peninsula, with panoramic countryside views in every direction. Given its location, there may be opportunities to convert all or part of the main building into multiple residential units or holiday accommodations (subject to planning permissions). The existing layout also allows for potential expansion of business operations such as hosting weddings, meetings, or events. Externally, the property offers a substantial parking area and several enclosed garden spaces currently used for outdoor dining. Two level paddocks are presently utilized as camping grounds but could easily be adapted for equestrian purposes or small-scale farming. The local area is rich with amenities; Hartland village is just four miles away and features cafes, shops, a medical center, and a primary school. The nearby South West Coast Path offers stunning walking routes along dramatic cliffs and sandy beaches. Notable attractions like Clovelly and Hartland Abbey are within easy reach, while Bideford and Bude provide additional facilities just a short drive away. Transport links are convenient; Barnstaple is approximately 40 minutes away with connections to Exeter, while Junction 27 of the M5 and Tiverton Parkway station—offering regular services to London Paddington—are around 90 minutes distant. Currently run by the owner since 2003, this establishment has been successfully operating year-round and holds promise for further business growth due to its strategic location and existing infrastructure. Mains electricity, water, private drainage systems, and gas central heating cater to operational needs, while ultrafast broadband availability supports modern connections. This property represents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a historic site with significant renovation potential in one of the UK's most picturesque regions.
