The Kings House Tea Rooms & Restaurant is an outstanding example of a 'black and white' timber framed property located in the centre of Pembridge. The property is of timber frame construction with pitched slate roof and provides an open plan trading area with ancillary rooms at ground floor and 5 bedrooms at first floor which provides large owners accommodation with scope for development of letting, if desired. It enjoys a pretty 'cottage style' garden with outbuildings providing further potential for letting. It also benefits from the village car park which is located immediately to the rear.
The premises have operated as a licenced business for many years, originally as a public house and then as a restaurant until its recent inception as a tea room and coffee shop. It has unfortunately ceased trading due to the personal circumstances of the operator who was unable to continue trading due to the workload as a single operator and other family commitments. The property could quickly be re-opened and re-established as a destination venue within Herefordshire.
Pembridge is one of the most famous black and white villages in Hereford for its large number of medieval timber framed style black and white properties. It sits on the banks of the River Arrow astride the main A44 between the market towns of Kington and Leominster, in North Herefordshire. The village has a rich history dating back to before the Domesday Book and being a busy medieval trading village. It is still much sought after as a residential location and attracts a large number of visitors enjoying The Black & White Trail in North Herefordshire.
