Gate Inn Well Street, Brassington, DE4 4HJ

The Gate Inn is a stone-built Grade II* Listed pub dating from 1616 with alterations in 1874. The pub is described by CAMRA’s Pub Heritage Group as a pub interior of exceptional national historic importance. It is believed that the pub’s beams are salvaged from ships of the Armada and that Bonnie Prince Charlie and his army billeted at the Inn before retreating from Derby during their invasion of England in December 1745. The Gate Inn is a two and single-storey, stone-built detached property, beneath pitched slate tiled roofs. The accommodation briefly comprises ground floor trading areas, accessed from both the front and rear, with a central bar servery, serving the two main bar areas with quarry tiled floors, superb inglenook cast iron range fireplaces, and beamed ceilings. The 'Old Kitchen' snug room has wood panelled walls, timber parquet flooring and feature fireplace with wood-burning stove.

The pub also benefits from Ladies & Gents W.C.s, a recently remodelled commercial kitchen and ground floor beer cellar.

The domestic accommodation is located over the first floor and comprises a Lounge, two bedrooms and bathroom. A further room at the top of the stairs is currently used for storage but could easily be repurposed to provide a lounge/living area, allowing the lounge to be utilised as a third bedroom, if required. 

To the exterior, the pub sits in a large plot with a spacious and picturesque beer garden, with a historic well. The lawned garden has mature shrub boarders, with picnic bench seating for over 100 and boasts breath-taking views over the Derbyshire countryside. A good sized car park is situated to the side of the property. Various store rooms and coal store are also located to the rear of the property.
