Ye Olde Greyhound Inn & The Barn Apartments, an established village pub and restaurant with three complementary accommodation units, has been brought to the market at a freehold asking price of £595,000. Set in the Cumbrian village of Bromfield, around five miles west of Wigton, the property combines a character trading venue with holiday-let and residential investment income.
Dating from the early 19th century, the end-terrace inn presents a welcoming cottage-style appearance and retains a wealth of rustic character. Its recently refurbished open-plan trade area provides seating for approximately 50 customers, centred around a wood-panelled L-shaped bar. Original stonework, exposed beams and a feature brick fireplace with log burner create a warm and distinctive setting for dining and drinks.
The trading accommodation is supported by a well-equipped commercial kitchen with dedicated preparation, cooking, refrigeration and washing areas. A Premises Licence is held, while the business currently trades on limited hours from Friday to Sunday, offering an incoming owner clear scope to extend opening times and develop food, drink and event-led trade.
A major feature of the opportunity is the range of accommodation. Above the pub is a beautifully presented three-bedroom holiday apartment with an open-plan lounge and kitchen, dining space, log burner, bathroom and utility area. The apartment is currently marketed for short stays at approximately £100 per night, providing an additional income stream alongside the licensed business.
A converted former barn adds two further self-contained apartments. The Stables is a ground-floor two-bedroom apartment with its own private courtyard, while The Barn is a first-floor two-bedroom apartment reached by an external staircase and decked terrace with countryside views. Both are currently let at £650 per calendar month, producing a combined annual rental income of £15,600.
Externally, the property includes a gravel car park with four spaces allocated to apartment tenants and a further eight spaces for pub patrons. Its village setting is enhanced by the neighbouring Grade I listed Church of St Mungo, while the Lake District National Park lies approximately 12 miles to the south. Carlisle, Cockermouth, Keswick and the wider Cumbrian coast are readily accessible by road, with rail services available from Wigton.
Owned by the same operators for around 30 years, Ye Olde Greyhound Inn enjoys an established local reputation and also attracts seasonal tourist trade. The present lifestyle-led operation leaves considerable potential for a chef, family team or experienced operator to increase trading hours, broaden the offer and capitalise on the mixed-income configuration.
The freehold is offered at £595,000, to include goodwill, fixtures and fittings, with stock at valuation in addition.
