Description

This property presents a unique opportunity to acquire a well-established country pub that has been a beloved community fixture for over three decades. Nestled in the picturesque Dorset countryside, it enjoys a strategic location that attracts visitors from Wareham, Dorchester, Weymouth, Poole, Bournemouth, Blandford, Wimborne, Swanage, and the nearby village of Wool. With seating for up to 300 guests across two dining areas—including a notable 90-seater conservatory—this pub is configured to cater to significant foot traffic. The expansive beer garden and children's playground further enhance its appeal as a family-friendly destination. Additionally, the modern commercial kitchen is fully equipped for operational demands. The property also features four to five bedrooms on the first floor, providing residential space that can accommodate staff or serve as living quarters for new owners. A large car park supports this busy establishment and facilitates access for coach parties that frequently visit due to the nearby campsite and scenic walking routes. There is considerable investment potential here. The former coach house serves as a spacious garage currently used for storage but could be transformed with appropriate planning permission into additional usable space such as guest accommodations or event facilities. Interested parties are encouraged to arrange viewings to appreciate not only the structural qualities of this property but also its inviting atmosphere and surrounding natural beauty. This offering provides an impactful chance for revitalization and growth in an area known for its charm and community spirit.
