The Royal Oak in Rye Foreign is now available for sale through leisure and hospitality specialist Sidney Phillips.
The Royal Oak is located approximately two miles north-west of the historic Cinque Ports citadel town of Rye. The area is well known for its stunning country setting, as well as its wealth of historical attractions including Rye Castle, Mermaid Street, Rye Harbour, Camber Castle and Winchelsea. Also nearby are more modern attractions such as Camber Sands and Rye Watersports. The area is popular all year round with tourists, day trippers, walkers and motorcycle enthusiasts.
The Royal Oak itself sits on the A268 Rye Road, a busy arterial road into the main town. This sizeable Grade II listed property is understood to date from the early 19th Century and comprises a two-storey property set in approximately 0.9 acres.
It benefits from a bar/restaurant/coffee shop with seating for 55 patrons, a five-bedroom accommodation and 10 en suite letting rooms set in their own chalet block. In addition, it has extensive gardens and a well-proportioned car park.
Regional Valuations Manager Robert Cockayne, who is handling the sale, commented: “The Royal Oak currently operates the B & B side of the business only, which is popular with visitors and tourists due to its prime location close to Rye and the South Coast. There is however ample scope for anew owner to reinstate the pub and restaurant side of the business offering an evening and lunchtime food and drink offering.”
The freehold interest of the Royal Oak is available to purchase off an asking price of £525,000.
