The Five Bells is an impressive and attractive 16th century Grade II listed detached thatched Devon inn, in the country village of Clyst Hydon.
It has been fastidiously restored and refurbished in recent years, enhancing the original character property. Consequently, the Five Bells is presented to an exceptionally high standard throughout, and the property retains much of the original old world charm and character, including thatched roof, exposed beamed ceilings and exposed stonework.
Extensive renovations have left no stone unturned and included the re-thatching of the roof, full re-wiring, re-plumbing, new central heating systems, new drainage system and new kitchen and toilet facilities. Today this high-quality destination public house and restaurant is set in extensive grounds and is presented in first class order throughout with all of the fixtures, fittings and trade inventory being of the highest quality.
This superior and impressive trading environment briefly comprises:- main bar and dining area (40), restaurant (40), lounge/snug area (14 plus), impressive fully fitted commercial catering kitchen with extensive back up facilities and walk in freezer, spacious and well-appointed family sized owners accommodation with sitting room, dining room, fully fitted kitchen/breakfast room, family bathroom, office and three good sized double bedrooms.
Externally, the property is set in approximately 2½ acres of grounds which incorporates formal gardens with alfresco seating for 120 plus customers, extensive car parking for over 40 vehicles, kitchen garden area, and a paddock field.
The Five Bells is undoubtedly a very special place to live and work and viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate all that this renowned and popular quintessential thatched destination country pub and restaurant has to offer. Benefitting from free of tie terms and with the thatched roof being excluded from the tenant repairing obligations, the Five Bells is unique and highly sought-after opportunity.
