Description
LH Price: £49,950
Rent: 64,000 Per Annum
Nestled within the charming South Devon village of Marldon, amidst the picturesque South Hams landscape, sits a historic property shadowed by Saint John the Baptist Church and offering views over the village cricket field. Originally erected around 1400, The Church House Inn provided lodging for artisans contributing to the church's construction. Over time, it transformed into a meeting place for the church congregation and eventually evolved into the Village Inn.
Reconstructed in the early 18th century, the inn boasts exquisite listed Georgian windows, some of which still retain their original glass, despite the proximity to the bustling village cricket pitch—where the thrill of hitting "sixes" has been curtailed!
Adjacent to the inn lies a plethora of scenic country walks, including the renowned John Musgrave Heritage Trail, which meanders through Marldon, passing by the inn and traversing the grounds of Berry Pomeroy Castle en route to Totnes. Ideally positioned between Berry Pomeroy Castle and Compton Castle, The Church House Inn serves as an idyllic retreat to unwind and savour hospitality after exploring these historic landmarks.
The Grade II listed Church House Inn, has garnered numerous accolades over time, including the distinction of being the inaugural pub in Devon to feature in the Michelin Pub Guide and securing the title of Devon's Best Country Pub as voted by readers of Devon Life magazine
