Seven Stars Inn, a traditional inn located within the heart of South Tawton, a quaint village on the edge of Dartmoor National Park in Devon, has come to market through Christie & Co, with a freehold guide price of £250k.
Dating back to the 17th century, the property maintains many of its original features, including wooden beams and exposed stone walls. The pub comprises a lounge bar and restaurant, accommodating for over 60 covers throughout, as well as a patio beer garden which provides seating for a further 20 covers. Above the pub, four bedroom owner’s accommodation is located across the entire first floor.
Currently closed, Seven Stars Inn presents new owners with the opportunity to reopen the only pub in the village and put their own stamp on the business. Situated on the Tarka Trail, popular with walkers and outdoor enthusiasts exploring the Devon countryside, the pub has historically benefitted from a loyal following and increased trade during the summer months.
Having previously operated the pub himself, current owner, William Whitbread has more recently leased the business to a number of tenants. Whitbread said, “The Seven Stars is a particularly handsome building in the centre of a picture-postcard village. With a bit of TLC, the pub could easily regain its place as the hub of this Dartmoor community.”
Lloyd Colin, Business Agent at Christie & Co who is handling the sale, said, “I recently spoke to a local resident who said that it would be great to see the pub reopen so that the community will once again have a meeting place.
'Seven Stars Inn presents new owners with the perfect opportunity to reopen the village pub and return it to its former glory, and its location in the countryside near Dartmoor provides the perfect opportunity to capture passing trade.
'We expect to attract significant interest from a variety of buyers – this opportunity is not to be missed!”
