The Rose Inn, The Green, Wickhambreaux, Canterbury, Kent, CT3 1RQ

The Rose Inn is a very attractive 16th Century, Grade II Listed property, full of charm with wooden beams, exposed wooden flooring and open fireplaces.

Wickhambreaux, pronounced 'wick-ham-brew', is situated in the valley of the Little Stour and is considered to be one of East Kent's most beautiful semi-rural villages. The village can be found just off the A257 Sandwich Road, five miles from the cathedral city of Canterbury, one of the UK's most visited cities.

The village retains its old pattern of church, manor house, rectory, coaching inn (The Rose Inn) and water mill surrounding the green. Many buildings are of architectural interest and a walk through the village reveals further fine examples of Elizabethan, Georgian and Victorian architecture.

The trading area is based around the focal point of the centralised bar in a u-shape. There are tables, chairs and booth seating around the trading area, together with a fully functioning fireplace at each end.

The commercial kitchen is a good size and is located to the back of the property.

All trade fixtures and fittings will be included in the sale.

To the side of the pub is a large trade garden with an outside bar and wooden bench tables, together with further outdoor seating to the front of the property.

The owners’ accommodation is situated over the first and second floors and offers two double bedrooms, a bathroom and a large open plan living room with kitchen area.

The business has built up a good reputation among both the local and wider community. It represents a great opportunity to purchase a notable public house in this area, either for a new owners to operate the business themselves, or for an investor to create a formal lease to the current tenant.

The pub is currently let, so no recent trading data is available. Some historic data from when the freeholders operated the business themselves can be made available after a formal viewing.

The rateable value for the property from 1 April 2023 is £18,900. This is not what you will pay in business rates, but the Local Authority uses the rateable value to calculate what business rates are payable.
