Traditional Exmoor country inn in the picturesque village of Brompton Regis, offering five en-suite letting rooms, flexible owner’s accommodation, substantial trading areas and an attractive beer garden with countryside views.

The George Inn is a historic country pub with exposed beams, flagstone flooring, log-burning fires and a main bar and dining area seating approximately 50. The premises have been extensively improved and refurbished during the current ownership, including a newly installed gas boiler, refurbished cloakrooms and new en-suite bathrooms with power showers serving all five letting bedrooms. A well-equipped commercial kitchen, ground-floor beer cellar, skittle alley and additional storage provide the principal operational facilities.

The five well-presented letting rooms comprise three twins, one double and one quadruple room, all with newly installed en-suite facilities and views through the valley. Flexible private owner’s accommodation is currently arranged as a large double room with en-suite bathroom and separate laundry cupboard. This area could alternatively become another double letting suite, while one or more existing letting rooms could be incorporated to create larger owner’s accommodation.

Outside, a newly built trade patio runs along the property and leads into an attractive beer garden with valley views. The garden has a right of way to the community-owned Millennium Green, which has previously been used by the pub with permission from the trustees as overspill space for functions and events. Customer parking is provided at the front, with a serviced yard to the side.

The George Inn is currently closed, providing an opportunity for an experienced pub or hospitality operator to relaunch the business. Historically, the inn has served the local village community while also benefiting from visitors to Exmoor, particularly during the summer months. The combination of food and drink trading, five letting rooms, skittle alley and outside space provides several potential income streams for a new operator.

The premises are available on a new 10-year Full Repairing and Insuring lease at £15,000 per annum, with flexible terms available subject to negotiation. Furnishings and equipment are included as per inventory, excluding the owners’ personal effects. Wet and dry stock in trade and bar glassware are to be purchased separately at valuation on completion.

The George Inn is situated in the attractive village of Brompton Regis within Exmoor National Park, approximately five miles north-east of Dulverton and close to Wimbleball Lake.

The village is approximately two miles from the A396, providing connections to Dulverton and Bampton and onwards to Tiverton. Junction 27 of the M5 is accessible via Tiverton, providing connections towards Bristol and Exeter.

The location provides a central base for exploring Exmoor and the North Devon and Somerset coastlines, with the surrounding area attracting walkers, cyclists, birdwatchers, horse riders, nature lovers and anglers.

Premises Details:

Attractive two-storey semi-detached historic inn under a pitched tiled roof with painted and rendered elevations. The property has been extensively improved and refurbished during the current ownership and benefits from a recently installed gas boiler.

The main bar/dining area provides seating for approximately 50 and features exposed timber beams, low ceilings, part-carpeted and part-flagstone flooring, two feature fireplaces with cast-iron wood burners and a glazed bay-window seating area. A timber-topped and fronted bar servery includes beer fonts, handles and back-bar shelving, with direct access to the trade garden.

The well-equipped commercial kitchen has tiled flooring and full extraction, with a six-ring gas range and oven, three deep-fat fryers, two microwaves, salamander grill, hot plate, central servery unit, double sink and drainer, dishwasher, shelving, worktops and refrigeration.

Additional ground-floor facilities include a naturally temperature-controlled beer cellar, skittle alley with skittle run and equipment, freezer/store room and newly refurbished ladies’ and gents’ cloakrooms.

The first floor provides five letting bedrooms, all with newly installed en-suite bathrooms. Accommodation comprises three twin rooms, one double room and one quadruple room, each with an en-suite incorporating a double shower, WC and wash hand basin. The rooms enjoy views through the surrounding valley.

Outside is a newly constructed trade patio running the length of the building and an attractive beer garden overlooking the valley. The garden has a right of way to the Millennium Green, which may be used by the pub from time to time for function and event overspill with permission from its trustees.

A customer car park is situated to the front of the pub, with a serviced yard area to the side.

The property is connected to all mains services.

Business Operation

Expansion Potential:

The inn is currently closed and provides an opportunity to relaunch and develop the business. Five en-suite letting rooms provide accommodation income potential alongside food and drink sales. The flexible owner’s accommodation could alternatively become an additional letting suite, while the skittle alley, trade garden and potential permitted use of the neighbouring Millennium Green for function and event overspill provide further trading opportunities.
