CHARMING 'OLDE WORLDE' MOORLAND PUB

The White Thorn Inn enjoys an idyllic setting in the heart of the sought after and quaint Devon village of Shaugh Prior, on the southern hills of the Dartmoor National Park.  From its enviable elevated site, it enjoys views to the south towards Plymouth Sound and the sea beyond.  Due to its close proximity to the major South Devon city of Plymouth, the unit enjoys a steady year round trade which is boosted during the summer months by the many thousands of visitors and day trippers who come to the area to enjoy the spectacular scenery of the National Park.

Shaugh Prior is located approximately 8 miles north-east of the major South Devon city of Plymouth and is some 4 miles south-east of the thriving moorland village of Yelverton.  In recent years, it has developed as an inclusive and sought after commuter village to Plymouth and is an interesting mixture of older style built cottages with attractive individual modern housing.  It has its own church, primary school and a population of approximately 1,000.

The property is detached and enjoys an enviable position fronting the main road through the village.  To the rear, it enjoys a delightful outlook with large grounds which incorporate an attractive lawned trade garden with decked patio area, children’s play area and a large car park.  The premises boast a wealth of ‘olde worlde’ charm and character, with a traditional open-plan lounge/bar area, toilets, commercial kitchen and cellar on the ground floor.  The first floor provides attractive and comfortable living accommodation with lounge/diner, three to four good-sized bedrooms and a separate kitchen area. 

Under the present ownership, the property has been renovated and improved and is now presented to a high standard and an early viewing appointment is highly recommended to fully appreciate the location, appeal and quality of this reputable and popular destination free house.
