Historic pub & hotel now for lease

A historic public house and hotel situated in the affluent East Sussex community of Forest row, is now available for lease through specialist licensed property advisers Sidney Phillips.

The town lies in the Wealden District, approximately 3 miles south-east of East Grinstead. The village is known as ‘The Gateway to Ashdown Forest’, an area of ancient heathland and woodland renowned for being a medieval hunting forest for the Tudor Royals as well as the home of Winnie The Pooh. The area acts as a ‘honey pot’ for walkers, cyclists and nature enthusiasts as well.

The Chequers Inn Hotel occupies a prominent position in the village centre. The property occupies a substantial Grade II Listed building understood to date back to the Seventeenth Century. This two-storey property retains much of its original charm and character, which must be seen to be appreciated, and includes a rustic bar, restaurant & function room (191), supported by a more modern 25 bedroom hotel to the rear.

Our clients have owned and operated the Chequers Inn Hotel for the past 48 years and now wish to hand the gauntlet over to a new ‘hands-on’ operator who can create their own style of operation.

Sidney Phillips are offering for sale the grant of a new free-of-tie lease on favourable terms, off an asking price of £100,000.
