For Sale – Freehold Public House with Development Potential
Royal Oak, London Road, Wadhurst, East Sussex, TN5 7PJ
An exciting opportunity to acquire the well-known Royal Oak on London Road, Wadhurst – a substantial freehold property with extensive accommodation, generous outside space and excellent future potential (subject to planning permission).
The site extends to approximately 1,743 m² (18,768 sq ft) and comprises:
A traditional public house with bar and seating areas
Fully equipped commercial kitchen
Separate takeaway food section
Public toilets
A self-contained 3-bedroom flat above
Attractive beer garden
Off-street parking for around 30 vehicles including disabled spaces
Location:
The Royal Oak occupies a prominent roadside position on London Road, within easy reach of Wadhurst village centre and just a short drive from the historic spa town of Tunbridge Wells. Wadhurst itself is a highly sought-after Wealden village with strong local demographics, a thriving high street, mainline station (London Bridge from approx. 1 hour), and well-regarded schools. The location benefits from steady passing trade and excellent connectivity to surrounding towns and the wider South East.
Potential:
While currently trading as a public house, the property offers significant scope for a variety of alternative uses or redevelopment, subject to planning consent. The large site, generous footprint, and mixed-use configuration make it well-suited to residential conversion, mixed-use schemes, or continued hospitality use.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a landmark property in one of East Sussex’s most desirable villages, with clear potential for capital growth and re-purposing.
