The Lymington Arms, Lama Cross, Wembworthy, Devon, EX18 7SA

This attractive and characterful country inn is set over two storeys with a new slate pitched roof. To the left-hand side there is a stone built cellar which links to the rear of the bar.

The current owners have conducted extensive works to the pub over the last two years, including a new roof, external repairs and decorations and the renewal of the mains gas boiler.

The spacious but cosy bar and lounge area with 35 covers is found on the ground floor and is served by a single stone fronted bar. The beer cellar sits directly behind this bar which assists good cellar management.

A function room with bar is situated to the rear of the ground floor, which offers a flexible space for parties, meetings or additional dining and can comfortably cater for 40 covers.

The large well-equipped commercial kitchen is also on the ground floor, and includes a separate preparation area and a walk-in cold room. Most of the equipment including the fridge, freezer, 6 burner gas oven, gas chargrill and overhead extraction fan has been replaced recently and is all owned by the business.

The owners have recently refurbished their light and airy private ground floor kitchen/living room which has expansive views over their own secluded garden and the fields and woodlands beyond.

On the second floor there are 4 double bedrooms (one en-suite) and two shower rooms.

There are two flexible external seating areas to the front and side of the pub and a car park for circa 30 vehicles.

The Lymington Arms has a prominent roadside position at Lama Cross, on the edge of the village of Wembworthy, in mid Devon.

The pub lies in some of Devon's prettiest countryside and the abundant green fields, rolling hills and woodlands are highly popular with holiday makers and outdoor pursuits enthusiasts.

The planned construction of new homes in the area should see the the local population steadily grow.

There are many local attractions in the area including the Tarka Line, walking and cycling trails as well as venues for fishing.

Whilst occupying a picturesque rural location, the pub is within easy reach of both the north and south Devon coasts, Dartmoor and Exmoor and Tiverton and Exeter with links to the A30 and M5.

This is a fantastic opportunity to further develop this food led business set in delightful surroundings by developing an all day offer and extending the current opening hours.

There is scope to develop a letting room offer (subject to relevant permissions) by reconfiguring the second floor, building on the land to the left of the car park, or converting the function room to letting rooms. Plans have been drawn up for this previously, subject to approval.

This pub would suit either an experienced operator looking to take on a long established and successful business, or an operator looking to put their own stamp on a place.
