AN award-winning pub near Highbridge is on the market just months after being crowned South West Pub of the Year 2024.
The Crossways Inn at West Huntspill boasts a healthy turnover of £901,958, has eight en-suite letting rooms, a three-bedroom owners’ accommodation and car parking for 71 vehicles.
Specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co, has been instructed to market the 17th century pub and restaurant with letting rooms.
The pub has received numerous awards and accolades over the last decade, including being crowned CAMRA South West Pub of the Year 2024, and CAMRA Somerset Pub of the Year seven times over the past eight years.
The business has been owned by the current freeholder for fifteen years, during which time an extension was added to create a four-star bed and breakfast, with eight ensuite letting rooms including two accessible ground-floor rooms.
The bed and breakfast side of the business has a private entrance and breakfast room, and the property also features three-bedroom owners’ accommodation on the first floor, a beer garden that seats 88, and a large car park.
The pub is well-established and profitable, but there is the opportunity to grow the business further by opening the kitchen seven days per week instead of five and adding offerings such as a Sunday carvery or breakfast service.
Ryan Bassett, Business Agent at Christie & Co who is overseeing the sale, commented: “This is a really exciting opportunity to purchase an award-winning pub full of history and charm, that has been consistently voted CAMRA Somerset Pub of the Year.”
He added: “The operation already has a fantastic following of loyal customers, and the current owners have successfully extended the pub to include 8 en-suite letting bedrooms which are all tastefully decorated. We expect a high level of interest in the Crossways Inn.”
Crossways Inn is on the market for a freehold asking price of £990,000.
