Leasehold
The Queen's Head is one of East Sussex’s best-known public houses. It sits within the picturesque village of Icklesham, on the busy A259 Hastings. The village is set in an area of largely untouched countryside, close to a number of tourist attractions, including Hastings, Winchelsea Beach, Camber Sands, and the historic citadel town of Rye.
Queens Head is one of the region’s most iconic public houses and is highly visible, being perched on a high point overlooking Brede Valley. This fine Grade II listed property is understood to have been built in 1632 as two dwellings, later converted into a public house in 1831. The property retains a wealth of original character and charm, which acts as a fantastic draw for customers.
