Located in the charming village of Over Stratton, New Farm Restaurant presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. This former farmhouse, constructed from Hamstone with a traditional tiled roof, is centrally located near the A303, making it easily accessible for both local residents and tourists. The area is renowned for its beautiful countryside and proximity to popular attractions such as Ham Hill Country Park and the Jurassic Coast.
The property features two levels with a variety of spaces that can be reimagined. The ground floor includes a former restaurant area characterized by its impressive timber beams, exposed stone walls, and log-burning stove. There are also multiple washrooms and an extensive catering kitchen that could be repurposed or upgraded based on new owners' needs.
Upstairs, the expansive dining area with vaulted ceilings awaits transformation into either living space or additional commercial use. It currently features two en-suite bedrooms along with an additional double bedroom—ideal for owner accommodation or guest rentals.
The outdoor space includes a mature garden and courtyard suited for al fresco dining, alongside parking for up to ten vehicles. Given the granted planning permission to revert the property back into residential use, there is significant potential to create a family home or enhance the existing business model. With adjustments to the operational hours of the restaurant and improvements made to guest accommodations, revenue streams may significantly increase.
This well-regarded establishment has been in ownership for over three decades, offering ample scope for growth within an attractive market segment focused on tourism and local clientele.
