Description

A rare lifestyle opportunity to acquire a successful village pub with beautifully presented owner’s accommodation.

Situated in the heart of the Ayrshire village of Dalmellington, the Dalmellington Inn is a well-established and popular public house that has been successfully operated by the current owners for the past ten years. Now offered to the market, this sale presents an excellent opportunity to take on a thriving local business while enjoying spacious and high-quality accommodation above.

The property itself is a charming traditional stone-built inn believed to date back over 200 years. Over time it has been thoughtfully modernised to create a practical and welcoming trading environment while maintaining the character expected from a traditional village pub.

The ground floor is arranged around the main public bar, which offers a warm and sociable setting for locals and visitors alike. There is also a cosy snug/pool room area providing additional seating and entertainment space, helping create a lively and welcoming atmosphere throughout the year. The business enjoys strong regular trade and healthy barrelage, with further potential for growth.

One particularly exciting opportunity for a new owner is the potential to introduce food (subject to consents), as the business currently trades as a wet-led venue. In addition, the current owners hold drawings for a proposed rear extension, offering further scope to expand the operation if desired.

A real highlight of the property is the spacious owner’s accommodation situated above the pub, accessed via its own private entrance. Originally used as letting accommodation, the apartment has been extensively refurbished in recent years and is presented to a high specification, blending modern finishes with the character of the original building.

The first floor offers a welcoming entrance hall leading to a newly fitted modern kitchen and a large living room overlooking the main street. There is also a useful office which could easily serve as a fifth bedroom, along with a rear double bedroom and an impressive master suite featuring an en-suite bathroom and walk-in dressing room.

Stairs from the hallway lead to the attic level, where two further generous double bedrooms can be found, both finished to the same high standard and benefiting from attractive dormer windows.

Externally the property offers excellent outdoor space which is particularly popular during the summer months. To the side of the building a shared driveway. The property also benefits from a fantastic decking terrace with plenty of seating and a covered area suitable for an outdoor television, creating a great social space overlooking the river.

Dalmellington itself lies around 13 miles south east of Ayr on the scenic A713, a well-travelled tourist route connecting Ayrshire with Dumfries and Galloway. The village sits in the heart of what is often referred to as Burns Country and is within easy reach of Ayr, Prestwick, Troon and Kilmarnock, all areas well known for their world-class golf courses and beautiful countryside. Positioned prominently on the main street through the village, the Dalmellington Inn enjoys an excellent trading location.

Full trading figures will be made available to seriously interested parties following a formal viewing.

Overall, the Dalmellington Inn represents a fantastic opportunity to acquire a profitable and well-established business combined with impressive owner’s accommodation, ideal for someone looking to make an exciting lifestyle change while running a popular local venue.
