Leisure specialist Sidney Phillips is proud to announce the sale of the Bell Inn, situated in the quaint East Sussex village of Iden.
The Bell Inn is a notable detached Grade II listed public house, well-positioned on the main road between the touristic towns of Tenterden and Rye in the High Weald, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Rye is one of the largest tourist destinations in East Sussex and houses a number of historic attractions including Rye Castle, Rye Harbour, Camber Sands and Camber Castle. Iden boasts an idyllic countryside setting and benefits from local amenities including a community owned village shop and post office, a bowling green and playing fields that host a football and cricket team.
The Bell Inn benefits from a bar, snug and restaurant, as well as a spacious three-bedroom accommodation, two gardens and two well-appointed self-contained letting bedrooms.
The Bell Inn closed its doors in June 2023, and has now been purchased by the local Community Benefit Society, who in partnership with an experienced publican and ward-winning pub design company, are set to refit the property and reopen this historic inn.
The freehold interest of the Bell Inn was sold by Sidney Phillips off an asking price of £569,000.
