Leisure property specialists Fleurets have brought to market The White Lion, a characterful and prominently positioned village pub located in the picturesque village of Niton on the southern side of the Isle of Wight, surrounded by rolling hills and scenic beaches.
Set on a site of approximately 0.37 acres, The White Lion is an imposing and beautifully refurbished two-storey brick and stone property. The freehold interest is available at a guide price of £750,000 + VAT.
The White Lion has been owned and operated by the Holmes family of Wight Pubs for six and a half years, during which time it earned two 1 AA Rosettes in consecutive years for outstanding food and service. The pub offers a blend of traditional charm and modern amenities, making it an attractive opportunity for operators seeking a well-appointed village venue with strong trading potential.
On the ground floor, the property features interconnecting rustic-style bar and dining areas providing 74 covers, along with a fully equipped bar servery. The commercial kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of stainless-steel catering equipment. Above the pub, on the first floor, sit six luxury en-suite letting bedrooms.
Externally, The White Lion benefits from a trade garden accommodating around 80 customers, along with patio seating for a further 30 and a car park for approximately 20 vehicles.
The property is being brought to market as it is no longer considered the right fit for the pub group's portfolio. It presents an excellent opportunity for an individual or couple seeking to operate their own venue.
Wight Pubs also operates The Birdham Hotel & Restaurant in Bembridge, along with The Chequers Inn in Rookley.
Mark Holmes, Chief Executive of Wight Pubs, said: "The White Lion is a fantastic, beautifully renovated pub nestled in the heart of the charming village of Niton on the south coast of the Isle of Wight. It's a true gem for anyone with a passion for high-quality food, drink, and authentic village pub life. With its award-winning cuisine, six luxury B&B rooms, and strong local following, there's plenty of potential for further growth and success."
Nick Earee, Divisional Director for Fleurets South, commented: "The White Lion presents a fantastic opportunity to acquire a beautifully renovated village pub in one of the Isle of Wight's most desirable locations. Its combination of strong trading space, luxury letting rooms and an established reputation for quality food makes it an exceptional prospect for both established operators and new entrants to the market."
