Stokenham, Devon

The Church House Inn is located in the beautiful South Hams village of Stokenham, just a mile from Start Bay with its many unspoilt beaches. The main arterial route in and out is the A379, which runs through the village, north to Dartmouth and west to Kingsbridge. This route is serviced by the First Western National Bus Company with connections available to Plymouth, Salcombe, Dartmouth, Totnes (the nearest mainline railway station) and Exeter. The parish also enjoys the service of the Coleridge bus, a community bus providing weekly runs from outlying areas to Kingsbridge.



The surrounding coastline is possibly one of the most scenic in the UK. An area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the beaches at Slapton, Blackpool Sands, Gara Rock and Beesands are all within an accessible distance.   



The Church House Inn is a wonderful village inn, situated in one of the most enviable locations. The property was extensively refurbished in 2019, with significant investment over the whole building. The result is a charming and welcoming village inn which hasn’t lost any of its charm but with a slightly contemporary twist on it, providing a very welcoming environment to eat, drink or stay.   



The 4 en-suite letting rooms have been finished to an extremely high standard and are popular year round with visitors to the area. The downstairs extensive trading areas provide many covers and the property flows nicely into the bar area for drinking and leading through to the patios and gardens for al fresco drinking and dining in the warmer months. The recent addition of the outside bar has been very popular and a great area to providing space for outside private functions. The ‘back of house’ space has also been totally refurbished with a brand new kitchen and an inventory of high quality professional catering equipment.   



The Church House Inn at Stokenham has a very strong turnover and resultant net profit and although seasonal, trades well all year round. The availability of the pub on a new lease provides a great opportunity for an experienced operator to continue to grow this special pub situated in an amazing geographical location.
