The Fox Hall Inn, Ravensworth, Richmond, North Yorkshire, DL11 7PW

The Fox Hall Inn is a brilliant example of a country pub restaurant with beautifully appointed ensuite letting bedrooms. Set in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, the Fox Hall Inn provides a traditional country pub dining experience with luxury, overnight accommodation.

The restaurant and several rooms have stunning pastoral views over Holmedale towards Richmond and Swaledale.

Situated on a major arterial and tourist route historically, it has been very well used by commuters and holidaymakers alike.

The Fox Hall Inn occupies a prominent main road position adjacent to the A66 connecting Scotch Corner (A1(M) Junction 53) and Penrith, the gateway to the Lake District.

The pub is surrounded by a number of affluent and desirable villages, many of which have a number of holiday homes/B&B's

There is also a caravan park within 10 minutes walk (one minute's drive) providing a captive audience for food and beverage sales.

The property is in immaculate condition throughout, with the downstairs being refurbished in April/May 2019 and the upstairs in 2018, to an excellent standard.

The integral fixtures & fittings remain in situ (bar, booth seating, kitchen equipment etc) and owned by the Landlord. An inventory of loose loose fixtures & fittings will be provided by the exiting tenant.

The ground floor trade space is compartmentalised into four main areas:

Bar
Restaurant
Snug
Dining Room

The Landlords will retain ownership of the majority of fixtures, fittings and equipment currently in the property, with the incoming tenant being responsible for the repair, maintenance and replacement.

At first floor level there are eight beautifully appointed letting bedrooms with a further three on the second floor. Most of the bedrooms enjoy spectacular views over the rolling countryside and all are finished to an impeccable standard with excellent quality furniture, fixtures and fittings.

The pub benefits from a large car park with c.40 spaces.

To the rear is a large flagged terrace with stunning views over the neighbouring fields and beyond.

The total site area extends to c.4.7 acres.

Whilst there is no staff/owners' accommodation at present, it would be relatively straight forward to reconfigure some of the letting accommodation to create suitable living accommodation.

The Fox Hall Inn presents an excellent opportunity for an owner operator to take on a business which benefits from security of income via food, beverage and accommodation.

The Fox Hall Inn's location on a main road, adjacent to the A66 connecting Scotch Corner (A1(M) Junction 53) and Penrith, the gateway to the Lake District, means it is well supported by local customers as well as tourist trade.

The business is currently operated with a team of staff. Further details can be provided on request.

Trading Profit & Loss Accounts will be provided to seriously interested parties after a formal viewing.

Wednesday to Sunday
12.00 noon until late

The Landlord and previous tenants have considered applying for planning permission for Glamping Pods/Shepherd's Huts or similar in the fields to the rear. There is also potential (STPP) to utilise the fields for other income generating uses, i.e. erection of a marquee to host events such as weddings and food festivals etc.

The Landlord is looking to enter into a new, free of tie lease to an experienced operator at a commencing rent of c.£40,000 per annum. Lease length and other terms are to be negotiated.

The Rateable Value as of 1 April 2023 is £25,000. Confirmation of actual rates payable should be sought from the Local Authority.
