The Duke of Wellington Inn, a country inn in the heart of the North York Moors National Park, has hit the market for £475k.
The inn dates back to 1765 and was once used as a recruiting post during the Napoleonic Wars.
Today, the pub hosts folk music nights, darts and dominoes matches and serves both locals and tourists visiting the North York Moors.
The property includes eight en-suite letting bedrooms, a traditional bar that seats 25 people, a lounge with a fireplace accommodating 35, and a dining/breakfast room for 30 guests.
The owner’s private accommodation, located on the second floor, consists of a lounge, office space, two bedrooms, and a bathroom, with potential for conversion into additional guest rooms or a self-contained apartment.
The North York Moors national park attracts around 8 million visitors annually, contributing approximately £425m to the local economy. The inn benefits from being a short distance from the North York Moors main visitor centre and Danby’s railway station.
Robert Smithson, Coller’s hotel team, said: “It’s not every day that a place like this comes up for sale. The Duke of Wellington Inn isn’t just a business, it’s a piece of Yorkshire history, loved by locals and visitors.
“With a loyal customer base, incredible surroundings, and so much potential to grow, it’s a fantastic opportunity for someone to take the reins and make it their own.”
