Freehold Village Pub Near York for Sale

Well-known North Yorkshire pub hits market after 35 years in the same ownership - guide price £450,000

New to market with leisure property specialists, Fleurets, is The Blacksmiths Arms, a well-established and much-loved village pub that has been under the same ownership for 35 years.

Situated in Newton on Ouse, one of North Yorkshire's most picturesque and desirable villages, the pub enjoys a prime location on the banks of the River Ouse, approximately seven miles northwest of York and seven miles south of Easingwold, with neighbouring villages including Linton on Ouse, Beningbrough, and Nun Monkton.

The Blacksmiths Arms is being offered for sale freehold at the guide price of £450,000.

The building is a two-storey brick-built semi-detached property, the front of the pub features a welcoming patio and grassed beer garden for 50 covers, while the rear offers a further partially covered patio for 40+, a bottle store, and two garages within a car park that can accommodate more than 20 cars.

Inside, cosy and traditional trade areas with timber panelling and feature fireplaces extend through the ground floor in three sections, all suitable for drinking or dining. The front section has 24 covers with a servery hatch, the middle section 20 covers with the main servery, and the rear section 18 covers with a TV and darts throw. A catering kitchen adjoins the rear trade area, and the pub benefits from well-presented ladies' and gents' toilets.

Upstairs, three double en-suite letting bedrooms offer flexibility for either private or rental use, with separate access from both the rear and through the pub. Private accommodation occupies the first floor and attic, comprising two bedrooms, a large sitting and dining area, kitchen, bathroom, WC, and office.

Simon Hall, Director and Head of Agency North at Fleurets, commented: "This pub has been in the same hands for 35 years, which speaks volumes about the strength of the trade and the loyal local community it serves. It is a superb village community pub, and there are clear opportunities for further growth for a new operator."
