The upstairs accommodation has been beautifully refurbished and is currently split into the owners’ accommodation along with two double en suite bedrooms which can be let. Molesworthy Arms further benefits from a self-contained apartment, a beautiful, landscaped garden and an outbuilding with planning permission to demolish and build a small detached house. The owners currently run a restaurant and bar (open for limited hours only) which is very well-regarded with recent awards including the TripAdvisor notification of being in the top 10% of restaurants in the world based on latest 12 months customer reviews. The property provides an excellent opportunity for the continued part commercial use offering significant income potential with well-appointed on-site accommodation.

The restaurant and bar is essentially in three areas which can provide up to c.40 covers and there is also a cellar and a large commercial kitchen with stainless steel fittings and appliances.

There is a ground floor self contained apartment, with an open-plan kitchen, dining room and sitting room. The kitchen has modern fitted units and integrated appliances, while there is also one double bedroom and a shower room. French doors lead from the living area onto a private courtyard patio.

Upstairs, the current owners’ accommodation comprises a comfortable sitting room, a dining room with dual French doors opening onto the private south-facing roof terrace, and a kitchen with all the necessary appliances. There is also a double bedroom with an en suite shower room while on the second floor there is the principal bedroom suite with a luxury shower room and skylights providing a wealth of natural light.

The first floor also provides letting accommodation with two en suite double bedrooms which can be accessed independently via an external staircase with a code controlled side gate.

At the front of the pub there is off-street parking and access to the detached garage and store which has planning permission granted for the demolition and reconstruction of a one-bedroom
dwelling providing further income potential. The planning history can be viewed on the Torridge Council planning portal under reference 1/0507/2023/FUL.
