A Rare Opportunity at The Knapp Inn, Beaminster

We're delighted to introduce one of the most unique properties to come to the West Dorset market this year – The Knapp Inn, Beaminster.

The pub

Being sold for the first time in 30 years, this substantial freehold public house with generous five-bedroom owner's accommodation presents an exciting opportunity for a wide range of buyers.

Occupying a prominent position within the ever-popular market town of Beaminster, The Knapp Inn offers far more than a traditional public house. The property combines established commercial premises with spacious residential accommodation, making it ideal for those looking to continue a hospitality business, embark on a new lifestyle venture, or explore the property's future potential, subject to the necessary planning consents.

Inside, the pub features a welcoming bar, a variety of seating areas, a traditional skittle alley, pool room, cellar, office, extensive storage and kitchen facilities. The owner's accommodation provides five well-proportioned bedrooms, a comfortable reception room and two shower rooms, offering excellent space for family living or staff accommodation.

Outside, the property benefits from an enclosed courtyard beer garden, a private south-facing courtyard for the residential accommodation and off-road parking, all within easy reach of Beaminster's vibrant town centre.

Properties of this nature are exceptionally rare, particularly those that have remained in the same ownership for over three decades. Whether you're an experienced publican, an investor, or someone searching for a distinctive property with exciting possibilities, The Knapp Inn deserves your attention.
