Description
A Grade II listed former public house in central Dover, adjoining the St James retail complex. The ground floor is described as a little over 1,000 sq ft and includes an open-plan bar area, an adjoining breakfast room with access to the first floor, a small kitchen, and a bedroom with shower room. Upstairs, the accommodation is arranged in hostel-style rooms with beds and bunk beds. A small yard is located outside. The building has previously operated as a traditional pub and, more recently, as a backpackers' hostel. Alternative uses may be considered, subject to the necessary planning consents and building regulations.

Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £325,000, this six-bedroom Grade II listed property is priced at about £146 per sq ft, well below the local average of £288 per sq ft — a strong acquisition-value point. Its former pub and hostel layout, central Dover position and adjoining retail complex give it an unusual starting point for a buyer looking to refresh the visible bar area and explore a new use, subject to the necessary consents and building regulations.
The photographed interior is dated, with traditional bar fittings and worn timber flooring, while the frontage appears generally intact. The overall score is tempered by limited renovation-economics information and an average location rating, so the low price per square foot is an opportunity rather than proof of the finished project’s returns.
Key opportunities
- Acquire a six-bedroom, 2,229 sq ft property at about £146 per sq ft, well below the local average.
- Refresh the visible former bar interior and worn timber flooring while retaining or reworking its traditional character.
- Explore alternative uses for the existing pub-and-hostel arrangement, subject to planning consents and building regulations.
