Description
The property comprises a Georgian-style public house, offered to the market for the first time in over 30 years. The business has been under the same ownership since the 1990s and presents a traditional village pub opportunity with established trade and a strong local following
LocationThe Walter De Cantelupe Inn is situated in the attractive village of Kempsey, on the outskirts of Worcester. Positioned on Main Road, the property benefits from a prominent setting within a well-regarded residential area, offering convenient access to Worcester city centre and surrounding Worcestershire countryside.
Internal DetailsThe ground floor trading area features a characterful bar arranged over split levels, centred around an ‘L’-shaped bar servery. Ancillary areas include a kitchen and preparation room, together with a basement beer cellar which benefits from separate external access for deliveries. The layout provides a functional and traditional pub environment.
Fixtures & FittingsWe have been advised that the majority of the fixtures and fittings are owned outright and will be included in the sale, subject to an inventory.
Letting AccommodationOwner’s and letting accommodation is arranged primarily at first floor level, where there are three double bedrooms, each with en suite facilities. A further room is currently utilised as a laundry but could be converted into a fourth bedroom, with access to a separate bathroom. In addition, a ground floor suite presently used by the landlord includes a double bedroom, office space, and a shower room, providing flexible residential or letting potential
External DetailsExternally, the property benefits from a beer garden accessible from the bar area, providing additional trading space in favourable weather. There is also side access to the cellar for barrel deliveries, supporting efficient operational logistics.
The OpportunityThe sale represents a rare opportunity to acquire a long-established village pub with scope for continued or enhanced trade. Having operated successfully for over three decades under the current owner, the property offers potential for a new operator to build upon its existing reputation, or to reposition the business to suit changing market demands
Business RatesCurrent rateable value is £2,850 from April 2026. Confirmation of actual business rates payable should be obtained from the local authority.
