The Rutland Arms, 13-15 Barnby Gate, Newark, NG24 1PX

The Rutland Arms is a substantial Grade II listed public house and former coaching inn, offering extensive trading accommodation, manager and staff living quarters, and significant development potential through its existing letting rooms, with a GIA of approximately 5,000 SqFt

The Rutland Arms occupies a prominent position within Newark town centre, one of Nottinghamshire's busiest market towns.

Newark benefits from a thriving retail and leisure offering, a strong residential population and excellent transport links via the A1, A46 offering excellent access to nearby towns and cities such as Nottingham, Lincoln, Grantham and Leicester.

The town centre location provides the property with strong visibility and access to both local customers and visitors, whilst its proximity to Newark's established evening economy makes it well suited to wet-led, entertainment focused operations,

Internally, the property centres around a large open-plan trading area arranged around a central bar servery. The customer areas offer a variety of seating arrangements, creating flexibility for both daytime and evening trade. In addition, the pub features a dedicated dance floor and a separate games room equipped with darts and pool facilities, providing strong appeal for entertainment-led operations.

To the rear of the property is a function room which offers the potential to host private events, parties and community functions. Ancillary space includes a decommissioned commercial kitchen, customer WC facilities and various storage areas throughout the building.

The beer cellar is situated within the basement.

The Seller reserves the right to remove any third-party items, including
branded items, gaming machines, dispense and beer flow monitor equipment and cellar cooling.

VAT will be payable, in addition, at the prevailing rate. Normally 90% of the gross purchase price, however, we advise that any perspective purchaser consults an accountant.

The property also benefits from ten letting rooms which are currently unused and require renovation before being brought back into operation.

Once refurbished, these rooms present an opportunity to develop an additional income stream through guest accommodation, capitalising on Newark's popularity with business travellers, tourists and visitors to the town.

Externally, the property occupies a site extending to approximately 0.20 acres. To the rear is an enclosed courtyard beer garden providing valuable outdoor trading space, together with a small area of parking which would be suitable for staff use.

The premises benefit from two self-contained flats suitable for managers or staff accommodation.

The larger flat comprises two bedrooms, a lounge, kitchen, bathroom, separate WC and an additional storage room. The second flat provides one bedroom, a bathroom and an open-plan kitchen and living area.

There is significant opportunity to increase trade through the re-introduction of food and the letting rooms, both which are currently not utilised and require investment.
