Exciting Opportunity in St. Ives with Year One Rent Reduced to £28k

The White Hart is a historic double-fronted pub in the heart of St Ives, Cambridgeshire, dating back to the late 1600s. As one of the oldest pubs in the town, the property exudes character and charm, combining traditional features with recent improvements. The brick-built building spans two storeys, with a single-storey rear extension, and has recently undergone external redecoration, enhancing its kerb appeal on the busy town centre thoroughfare.

The pub offers two distinct bar areas, each with its own character. The lounge bar, served by a wooden servery, provides flexible seating for approximately 35 covers, creating a cosy and traditional environment. The snug bar features a separate servery and can accommodate around 40 covers (subject to layout) ideal for dining or private functions. Access to toilets and the cellar is gained via the snug area.

The well-equipped trade kitchen includes a walk-in chiller and a generous preparatory area, recently refurbished to maximise the food offering. The first-floor accommodation provides four bedrooms, offering the potential for operator living quarters or additional revenue through letting rooms.
