The Bulls Head, Woodville Road, Hartshorne, DE11 7ET

A Rare Lifestyle, Investment & Development Opportunity.

Exceptional Grade II Listed Former Restaurant with Guest Accommodation, Owners' Apartment & Approved Residential Development.

An outstanding opportunity to acquire a substantial and highly versatile Grade II listed property, offering an exceptional combination of commercial potential, residential accommodation and approved development opportunities.

Formerly operating as a well-regarded restaurant, The Bulls Head occupies a prominent position in the desirable village of Hartshorne and presents an exciting proposition for investors, hospitality operators, developers and those seeking a lifestyle business with significant income potential.

The ground floor comprises the former restaurant premises, offering spacious dining areas, commercial kitchen facilities and ancillary accommodation, providing the ideal foundation for reopening as a restaurant, gastro pub, café or boutique hospitality venue (subject to any necessary consents).

To the first floor are four beautifully proportioned double guest bedrooms, each benefiting from its own private en-suite bathroom, perfectly suited for continued use as boutique guest accommodation, Airbnb or serviced rooms, creating an excellent additional revenue stream.

Occupying the second floor is a generous self-contained three-bedroom owner's apartment, comprising a spacious lounge, breakfast kitchen, three well-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. This private accommodation allows an owner or manager to live comfortably on site while operating the business below, or alternatively provides further letting potential.

Externally, the property benefits from a substantial customer car park providing ample off-road parking together with an attractive outdoor seating area, ideal for al fresco dining and social gatherings.

Adding even greater appeal, the property also benefits from approved planning permission for the construction of two semi-detached dwellings, significantly enhancing the investment opportunity. The approved scheme comprises:

One three-bedroom family home.
One five-bedroom family home.
Private enclosed rear gardens.
Generous off-road parking for both properties.

This consent opens the door to immediate development potential, allowing purchasers to create substantial additional value while retaining or repurposing the existing building.

Whether your vision is to revive a thriving hospitality business, establish a boutique guest house, create multiple income streams through holiday accommodation, or capitalise on the approved residential development, The Bulls Head offers a unique opportunity seldom available to the open market.
