Yours for £1.5 million - a South Devon pub with its own beach

One of the most picturesque pubs in South Devon is up for sale with an extra-special addition - its own beach.

Torbay-based commercial property agents and experts, Bettesworths, are handling the £1.5 million sale.

Situated in the beautiful coastal village of Heybrook Bay, Eddystone Inn and its beach are ideally located on the South West Coast Path, attracting thousands of customers every year and giving a whole new meaning to your usual beer garden. 

The sale includes Eddystone Inn, Heybrook Beach, two refurbished apartments, a one-bedroom flat and a spacious car park, all with a freehold guide price of £1.5m.

Although privately owned, Heybrook Beach is located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is currently open to the public, with hundreds of locals and tourists flocking down to enjoy the sandy shores and crystal clear waters every summer. 

The pub also has a fine reputation, not only with locals but with holidaymakers and visitors too. It’s a popular destination for hikers and walkers who trek the South West Coast path, making it a prime spot for a hospitality mogul to invest

The business is being sold with a strong financial performance record, a dedicated and experienced team of staff, and an established reputation for excellence in customer service. The owners currently operate the business at arm's length, with the pub closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. The apartments are also unoccupied, meaning new ownership could unlock a large stream of revenue.

The sale of Heybrook Beach and Eddystone Inn is expected to generate significant interest from investors, entrepreneurs and businesses in the tourism industry. The new proprietor will have the opportunity to operate a successful business with the potential to unlock a large stream of revenue should they choose to lease the apartments on Airbnb and open Eddystone Inn to the public more frequently.

Heybrook Bay is just a few miles around from Plymouth Sound, situated to the west, and the National Trust Wembury beach to the east. The village is set on a hill leading down to the beach; a beautiful pebble cove with clear waters and stunning views. The area is primarily residential, and only a short drive from all the amenities of Wembury and Plymstock. Plymouth city centre is approximately 6.5 miles to the north with the A38 Devon expressway accessible at Plympton, approximately a 15/20-minute drive away. Exeter is located approximately 45 miles to the northeast.

This unique property comes to the market just one month after the historical announcement of the availability of Torquay's Kents Cavern, an ancient set of showroom caves that have been owned by the same family since 1903. Dubbed ‘Britain’s Oldest Home’, the caves are an essential part of the English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark, which celebrates the geological heritage of the area.

Matt Bettesworth, Director of Bettesworths and agent for the sale, said: “Bettesworths is thrilled to offer this totally unique opportunity to the market. After garnering significant interest last month with the availability of Kents Cavern, we are delighted to offer another unique, one-of-a-kind business with extensive assets.”
