This historic former public house, reputedly established in the 14th century, is situated in South Witham and presents a unique opportunity for those with a creative vision. While the property requires significant renovation, it offers exceptional potential for transformation into a thriving hospitality venue, a charming family residence, or even a mixed-use development, subject to planning permissions.
Inside, the space brims with character, from the vaulted cellars to the former bar and restaurant areas, alongside multiple reception rooms and accommodation suites. The ground floor features an expansive central bar surrounded by seating and dining options, a commercial kitchen space, as well as office facilities. The first floor accommodates six lodging rooms; some of which have independent access from the rear.
The outdoor space amplifies this property's allure with approximately 0.42 acres that includes a spacious tarmac parking area, generous beer garden spaces, an exterior cold store, an enclosed yard, and a barn/stable building ripe for redevelopment. Although it shows signs of neglect and needs considerable work to restore its former glory, the potential here is remarkable for developers or investors keen on undertaking an exciting project in a desirable village setting with excellent transport links.
