Leisure and hospitality specialist Sidney Phillips has announced the sale of the Ship Inn, in the seaside town of Dymchurch.
The Ship Inn is a flawlessly presented eighteenth century public house and restaurant located in the popular village of Dymchurch, an area popular with day trippers and tourists seeking to explore the vast marshlands as well as the south Kent coastline running from Dungeness to Folkestone. The area encompasses a large number of tourist attractions including the historic citadel town of Rye, Camber Castle, Dungeness National Nature Reserve and Port Lympne Zoo. The village boasts a stunning beach and promenade, drawing in vast numbers of day trippers, especially from London, during the summer months.
This superbly presented Grade II listed pub has experienced significant investment in recent years, superbly renovated with a fine attention to detail, oozing warmth, comfort and class. It boasts four trade areas (81), six letting bedrooms and a large trade garden.
The business is well-known in the area as a high quality yet informal public house and restaurant focusing on delivering a locally sourced seasonal menu. The letting accommodation proves highly popular with those visiting the area as well as attending events such as weddings and was the proud winner of Channel 4's "Four in a Bed".
Acting on behalf of a regional multi-site operator, Sidney Phillips brokered the sale of the Ship Inn to a highly experienced couple, who bring with them a wealth of direct experience in the trade.
The leasehold interest was sold off an asking price of £125,000.
