FOR SALE via Modern Method of Auction

The Laurels Inn, a 17th-century public house formerly known as The White Hart, sits in a prime village position beside the church. Steeped in history, it has been a coaching inn, private residence and, since the 1970s, a well-loved pub and restaurant. Recently improved with a new roof, refreshed flooring and a multi-fuel burner, the pub has now closed, creating a rare opportunity for a new chapter. The property includes generous private accommodation with four to five bedrooms, a spacious living room boasting countryside views and ample parking. A charming beer garden with picnic benches and covered seating offers a welcoming outdoor space, while an adjoining former cottage provides useful storage or scope for extension. Successfully run as a family business since 2017, The Laurels Inn attracted locals and visitors from the nearby Tarka Trail. With potential for further development (STPP), it presents a versatile lifestyle opportunity.
