The Chequers Inn Hill Street, Feltwell, Norfolk

An imposing, versatile, 1934 detached property occupying a highly prominent position at the top of Hill Street in the sought-after village of Feltwell. Built by the renowned Bullards and Sons brewery to replace an early 20th-century thatched inn, this substantial character building offers expansive floor space, rich local heritage, and exceptional potential for commercial operators, developers, or residential buyers

Offered with no onward chain and available with vacant possession from the end of September, the property sits on a generous plot complete with extensive off-street parking and private grounds

Ground Floor & Commercial Space

The vast ground floor retains its spacious former public house layout, designed to comfortably accommodate up to 100 covers across multiple distinct zones:

Public Bar: A large, open main bar space ideal for high-traffic social seating

Saloon Bar: A comfortable lounge bar area providing an intimate setting for dining or private events

Large Conservatory: A expansive, light-filled extension providing a flexible garden-view dining area

Commercial Kitchen: Dedicated kitchen prep and cooking area equipped to support high-volume food service operations

First-Floor Residential Accommodation

Upstairs offers dedicated, self-contained living quarters suitable for live-in owners, management, or conversion into private residential accommodation:

Three well-proportioned bedrooms

Separate private living space overlooking the surrounding village

Grounds & Exterior

Large Car Park: A substantial private parking area capable of accommodating a high volume of customer or resident vehicles

Rear Garden: A generous outdoor space with excellent scope to create a traditional beer garden, outdoor dining area, or private domestic gardens

Planning & Usage Potential

The property is currently classified as a Place of Worship following its most recent lease. It presents a versatile canvas: it can be restored to a vibrant village pub and restaurant, transformed into a grand private residence, or retained for community/institutional use

Please note: The property is sold under its current classification (Place of Worship). All prospective purchasers must conduct their own independent planning enquiries regarding any intended change of use prior to purchase
