Venue: Livestream Auction
A well-established pub featuring private owner's accommodation, a holiday cottage, and two separate residential flats, all nestled in the heart of the Suffolk countryside
The Sweffling White Horse, nestled in the picturesque village of Sweffling and ideally located between Framlingham and Saxmundham, is now available due to retirement. The sale includes not only the well-established pub but also a private owner’s residence, two residential flats, and a semi-detached holiday cottage.
The pub
The pub enjoys strong year-round trade from both local residents and the steady stream of tourists who flock to this charming part of Suffolk. While traditionally wet-led, the business presents clear potential for growth through the introduction of food offerings. Trade has been increasing steadily year on year and is currently up 40% compared to pre-covid levels – a testament to its popularity and ongoing success.
Owners accomodation
Featuring a lounge, master bedroom, kitchen and bathroom.
Two residential flats
Both featuring a lounge, master bedroom, kitchen and shower room, offering the potential to add income to the site by renting out. With Sizewell expanding, workers are looking for properties of this type in this area.
