Sidney Phillips, specialist licenced property agent, is offering a historic inn benefiting from stunning views in Yorkshire. The Shepherd’s Rest Inn is for sale at a leasehold asking price of £50,000.
The property is located on an old pack horse route that traverses the southern side of the Upper Calder Valley in the village of Lumbutts, Todmorden. The inn is close to local amenities, with the town of Todmorden only 2.5 miles north, and is easily accessible by motorways. Originally a farmstead turning to a museum, it became a public house in the 19th century but has seen huge investment in recent times to trade areas and owners’ accommodation.
Featuring a main bar, private dining room and restaurant area, the property offers plenty seating for customers as well as original features and stunning panoramic views. A high quality owners’ accommodation hosts 4 bedrooms and healthy investment. Outside offers a front and rear trade patio with seating for over 250. There is a smoking shelter, children’s play area and car park with space for 80 vehicles.
The Shepherd’s Rest Inn is a family owned, food-led pub that offers a traditional menu with signature dishes and locally sourced produce, plus an extensive wine and beer selection. Our clients operate the inn as a lifestyle business, opening 3.5 days per week. This offers potential for increased trade by extending the current opening hours to take advantage of the many walkers and tourists who visit the area. Our clients have offered the inn for weddings and private events. There is potential, subject to planning permission, to locate shepherd’s huts on the right-hand side of the carpark and/or to offer the owners’ accommodation on the short term holiday market. Planning permission has been granted for an outside bar and kitchen.
