The Rose & Crown is a detached picturesque Dorset village freehouse which in parts dates from the 14th Century. The property stands beside the A352 approximately 3 miles south of the Dorset Abbey and private school town of Sherborne. Longburton has a population approaching 500 people with Sherborne having a population in the region of 9,000 people and Dorchester over 19,000 people.
This is a highly regarded area, with the National Trust village of Cerne Abbas (famous for its chalk hillside giant) and the village of Minterne Magna also being on the A352, to the side of which is Minterne House and its Himalayan Gardens.
The Rose & Crown is a historic Dorset pub which has been sympathetically extended in recent years adding the exceptional barn conversion style restaurant at the rear. It also encompasses a character bar, restaurant, snug, skittles alley and two bedroom accommodation.
In 2021 the pub won CAMRA Pub of the Year and is well known for its good food and beers.
The freehold interest of the Rose & Crown is available off an asking price of £595,000.
