Description
- About
The Bell in Studham is a distinguished, multi-award-winning freehold pub, steeped in over 500 years of history, currently under the stewardship of the same vendors for more than 20 years. It has earned accolades including Best Countryside Pub in Bedfordshire 2025 and national recognition as the second-best pub in previous years. The business offers a traditional English and Italian menu alongside a range of takeaway options, ice creams, and gift items, attracting both local and destination-led trade. The current owners are selling due to ill health, presenting an exceptional opportunity for a purchaser to acquire a thriving business with significant goodwill in a highly desirable rural location.
- Premises Details
The Grade II listed property comprises three floors and retains its original 500-year-old character, including a large chimney pot and inglenook fireplace, while incorporating contemporary touches. The ground floor accommodates a bar with approximately 30 covers, a restaurant with 36 covers, a large commercial kitchen and galley, and a cellar. Private accommodation includes three bedrooms (one ensuite), a lounge/office, a storeroom, and a main bathroom. Externally, the site benefits from extensive gardens and a car park providing around 90 to 100 covers, with uninterrupted views over Studham Common. There is also development potential with additional land opposite the car park and planning history for a five-bedroom B&B, offering opportunities for expansion, tourism projects, or additional dwellings subject to planning consent.
- Summary
The Bell in Studham represents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly regarded, award-winning freehold pub in a prime Bedfordshire village. With over two decades of established trade, substantial accolades, a strong financial performance, and potential for development or expansion, this business is ideal for an owner-operator or investor seeking a profitable rural hospitality venture with character and scope for growth.
