THE SITUATION

The New Inn is situated in the heart of this sought after Devon village which in turn sits amidst rich farmland and rolling countryside.  The New Inn is the focal point for the village and its surrounding hamlets.   Roborough has a population of around 300 people and The New Inn benefits from consistent year-round patronage with the normal seasonal uplifts.

THE PROPERTY AND CONSTRUCTION

The property is believed to date from the 17th century.   The building has some exposed stone walling, along with rendered and painted elevations beneath a thatched and part slated roof. The public rooms now comprise the main bar area with separate dining room and separate skittle alley / function room.    The kitchen is comprehensively fitted with a good range of commercial catering equipment.   To the first floor, the private living accommodation comprises two bedrooms, living room and bathroom. Far reaching countryside views are afforded from the owners’ accommodation.   Outside is a sunny beer garden whilst to the side of the property is parking for several vehicles.

THE BUSINESS
