A Much Loved Village Pub with Impressive Development Opportunity
* Guide Price £800,000 - £1,000,000 *
We are delighted to present The Fox Inn, a well-established public house located in the picturesque village of Patching, West Sussex. This unique property offers an exciting opportunity for commercial, residential or mixed-use redevelopment, subject to planning permission and consent. It is a rare chance to restore and enhance a local landmark.
The Fox Inn has been a central part of village life for many years, known and loved for its traditional charm, welcoming atmosphere and scenic location. Set in attractive surroundings near the South Downs, it has previously operated as a successful pub and restaurant with extensive gardens, a marquee for events, a children’s play area and generous parking.
Internally, the property offers a spacious layout including a bar area, restaurant seating, kitchen facilities and private accommodation, providing flexibility for various future uses.
This is a fantastic opportunity to bring The Fox Inn back to its former glory. A buyer may choose to reinstate it as a public house and restaurant, modernise the existing facilities, or explore conversion for residential use or a combination of both. All redevelopment options would be subject to the necessary planning permission and consents.
With its generous plot size, strong local reputation and desirable semi-rural setting just off the A27, the property is well positioned for a variety of future uses. Its setting offers easy access to nearby towns including Worthing and Arundel, while also appealing to those seeking a peaceful countryside lifestyle.
The Fox Inn is a much loved and well known property offering charm, character and outstanding potential. Whether you are looking to revive a cherished pub, create a bespoke residential home, or develop a mixed-use project, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a versatile and historic building in one of West Sussex's most desirable locations.
