Historic Coaching Inn in Prime Suffolk Location - Thriving local Business

Dating from the late 17th or early 18th century, The Plough is a Grade II listed former coaching inn, rich in heritage and character. Originally licensed as a beerhouse, the property gained its full public house licence in 1957, transferred from the now-defunct Barking Dickey, another local pub with deep community roots.

Today, The Plough stands as a well-known and well-loved village pub, set in the charming and accessible village of Wangford, just off the A12 and a short drive from Southwold and the Suffolk coast.

The building features a traditional bar area, a welcoming restaurant space, a fully equipped commercial kitchen, and outdoor seating to the rear—making it a versatile opportunity for those looking to run a food-led destination pub, relaxed village eatery, or a community hub with live music and events.

A standout benefit is the first-floor manager’s flat, offering spacious on-site accommodation—ideal for owner-operators or live-in staff.

Location Benefits
The Plough occupies a prominent roadside position in Wangford, which is not only popular with locals but also benefits from strong seasonal tourism and A12 visibility. Just minutes from the coast and near the thriving town of Southwold, the pub attracts regular trade from passing traffic, walkers, cyclists, and holidaymakers.

Importantly, its proximity to the Sizewell C development presents long-term opportunity. With the multi-billion-pound energy project now fully greenlit, significant investment and thousands of workers are expected in the region over the coming years—boosting demand for hospitality venues and services like The Plough.
