Description

The Dog & Duck – Grade II Listed Former Public House with Significant Development Potential (STPP)

A rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished Grade II listed detached property set within a semi-rural location, offering versatile potential for residential conversion or continued commercial use, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The Dog & Duck is an attractive former public house occupying a substantial plot of just under one acre. The property benefits from extensive internal accommodation arranged over two floors, with the first floor comprising three-bedroom living quarters. The ground floor retains a wealth of original period features, including exposed timber beams, inglenook fireplaces, and solid timber flooring, all contributing to its considerable character and historical charm.

The existing layout includes a main bar area with seating and dining spaces, a generously proportioned commercial kitchen, a series of ancillary storage rooms (including a walk-in refrigeration unit), and a traditional cellar.

Externally, the property is approached via a side access leading to a large parking area, suitable for multiple vehicles. To the front, there is a small landscaped garden, while to the rear lies an enclosed patio seating area and a substantial, private garden mainly laid to lawn, enjoying uninterrupted views over adjacent open countryside.

The property now requires comprehensive modernisation, presenting an excellent opportunity for redevelopment. Subject to obtaining the appropriate planning permissions, the site offers significant scope for conversion into a substantial private residence, boutique hospitality venue, or alternative commercial use.
