Description
Lovingly restored within the last decade and impeccably maintained throughout, this fine period property offers three interconnecting trading areas arranged around a central bar servery, creating a warm and characterful setting full of charm and flexibility. The accommodation comprises a comfortable owner’s flat together with three en-suite bed and breakfast rooms, complemented by a separate garden flat currently operated as letting accommodation.
Externally, the property benefits from a spacious car park and beautifully landscaped gardens, further enhancing its appeal to both trade and residential occupiers.
The site has been successfully tenanted for the past few years, with the tenancy concluding in June 2026, and will be offered with vacant possession thereafter. Of particular note, planning permission has previously been granted for three additional self-contained letting rooms, offering an incoming owner further scope to expand the letting business.
Presented in turn-key condition throughout, The Greater Good Inn represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a well-established, income-producing property in one of the region’s most sought-after locations.
