Description

This substantial former 16th-century inn is currently operating as a public house and bed and breakfast, with nine en-suite letting bedrooms, a bar, lounge, restaurant, function room and commercial kitchen. The unlisted property sits beside the Atlantic Highway near the Devon and Cornwall border, around four miles from Hartland village and within reach of the South West Coast Path and coastal attractions. The listing states an EPC rating of C. The grounds extend to approximately two acres and include a large parking area, garden and lawn areas used for outdoor dining, and two level paddocks currently used for camping and caravans. Mains electricity and water, private drainage and gas central heating are stated. The business is described as trading throughout the year, with further turnover and profitability information available from the agents. The owners’ separate three-bedroom apartment, with a gym and hot tub area below, is available by separate negotiation and is not included in this sale. The listing identifies possible redevelopment of all or part of the inn, or continued hospitality use, subject to planning and any required change of use. Any proposed alternative use would need to be assessed for planning and operational feasibility.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

54out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a distinctive project: a substantial 16th-century inn with nine en-suite guest rooms, furnished bar and function spaces, commercial kitchen equipment, and around two acres including lawn, paddocks and outdoor dining areas. The existing setup appears usable, while dated finishes across several bedrooms and public rooms offer scope for redecoration and flooring improvements; the cracked external surfaces could also be assessed for local repair. The renovation range is £12,000–£25,000.

The 54/100 D grade is a weaker overall opportunity, but the score does not establish that the asking price is dear: floor area is missing, so value against local £/sq ft cannot yet be judged. The property has character and several possible directions, including continuing its hospitality use or exploring alternative accommodation uses subject to planning and change of use.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh dated finishes and flooring across the furnished guest bedrooms and public rooms while building on their apparently usable condition.
  • Make use of the existing commercial kitchen equipment, bar, restaurant and function spaces as a hospitality project.
  • Explore the potential of the lawn, paddocks and two-acre setting for outdoor dining or other suitable uses, subject to any required consents.
