The Rising Sun Inn offers the opportunity to acquire a characterful freehold former country inn, set in an attractive rural position at Woodland, near Ashburton, on the edge of Dartmoor.
Dating back to circa 1876, the property retains a wealth of period features, including exposed beams, open fireplaces and painted rendered elevations.
For many years the Rising Sun traded as a well-known destination freehouse, drawing custom from Ashburton, Newton Abbot and the surrounding South Devon villages. The business has now closed and the property is offered with vacant possession, with the fixtures and fittings included within the sale.
The accommodation is extensive and versatile, with open-plan trading areas, a commercial kitchen and ancillary stores on the ground floor, four en-suite letting bedrooms and a three-bedroom owners apartment, together with a beer garden and car park. The property will appeal to operators wishing to reopen it as a pub, restaurant or inn. Its size, layout and rural setting also lend it to a range of other commercial and residential uses, subject to planning and any other necessary consents.
