A Traditional South Devon Village Inn, Devon

LH Price: £60,000
Rent: 30,000 Per Annum
Set at the very heart of the popular South Devon village of Ipplepen, The Wellington Inn is a quintessential village inn and the only public house serving the village. Occupying a prominent position on Fore Street, the property is brimming with traditional character, from flagstone floors and exposed timber beams (low in places), to timber-panelled walls, exposed stonework, stained glass and open fireplaces, creating a warm and genuinely welcoming atmosphere.
The business has been run by our clients’ extended family for many years, in a traditional manner and with a clear focus on food, the split of trade being in favour of food sales at C. 60%. Real effort has been made to appeal to the local community, with popular curry and quiz nights, whilst the weekend carvery is a particular highlight and is frequently booking only.
Our clients are now retiring from the trade and leave behind them a successful, well maintained property. The Wellington Inn would ideally suit a husband and wife team or partnership keen to embrace village life, and offers a creative operator the opportunity to put their own stamp on the business, drive trade and grow turnover, all on a favourable rent.
