A unique rural hospitality business opportunity in Shropshire

We have been instructed to market an exciting rural hospitality business opportunity in Shropshire, which includes a pub/ restaurant, letting rooms, a barn conversion holiday let, a further barn conversion, together with a village shop, café and bakery.

The Haughmond, a former coaching inn located just five miles from Shrewsbury, in the village of Upton Magna, is now available to buy. We are seeking offers in the region of £1.2 million for this truly exceptional property portfolio. Our joint agents are Cooper Green Pooks.

Holiday lettings, staff accommodation, catering and retail space

The buildings are laid out around a central car park, with additional car parking available and an extensive garden area with superb panoramic views towards the Wrekin. Basil Barn is a three-bedroom holiday letting, with a delightful open plan living space, finished to an exceptionally high standard. The Barn, another three-bedroom property, with the scope to convert a training kitchen back into a fourth bedroom, also has a wonderful living/ dining space, a large kitchen/ breakfast room. Currently occupied by the owners, The Barn could also be turned into another letting.

Renowned for the quality of its food, having acquired AA 3 Rosette accreditation and featured in the Michelin Guide, the restaurant has scope to accommodate between 60-70 covers. Upstairs, there are five ensuite double bedrooms, currently let as B&B accommodation, along with a manager’s apartment. Outside, there are two further letting rooms, each with an ensuite. The village shop and bakery/ café are very popular with passing walkers and cyclists, and is also a big draw for local residents.

This historic village of Upton Magna is around five miles from Shrewsbury and ten miles from Telford. The National Trust property Attingham Park, which attracts over 600,000 visitors per year, is a very short drive away. The Haughmond is surrounded by some of Shropshire’s most scenic countryside, with wonderful walking and cycling routes in every direction.

Our Managing Director, Charles Lawson, says,

“Upton Magna is a truly community-led village and the current owners, who are now planning to retire, have been part of this very active community for ten years.

“This is an amazing prospect for someone looking for a business or investment opportunity which has great scope to build on the success, reputation and good will established by the current owners and develop still further as a destination venue for dining, holidays, and special celebrations.”
