The Punch Bowl Inn: 16th century pub in quaint North Yorkshire village listed for sale
A 16th century pub in North Yorkshire located inside a conservation area has come to market.
The Grade II listed Punch Bowl Inn, in Marton cum Grafton, is being marketed as the ideal location for a new pub and restaurant.
The pub has not yet been listed with a guide price.
A statement from the team marketing the historic pub said the site offers “a rare opportunity for a chef or food-led operator to establish a destination dining pub in the heart of North Yorkshire.”
It added: “The Punch Bowl Inn occupies a prominent position on Grafton Lane and has long been part of village life.
“Inside, the historic building is rich in atmosphere, with exposed beams, open fires and a series of intimate rooms that lend themselves naturally to relaxed but refined dining.
“With multiple dining areas, private rooms and an extensive commercial kitchen already in place, the pub offers clear potential for a chef-led concept focused on seasonal menus, local produce and modern British cooking.”
The property is also home to a large enclosed beer garden, with the wider site extending around 0.57 acres with a detached function or meeting room.
The decision to sell follows a “change in direction” by the current owners, according to the team marketing the site.
The village of Marton cum Grafton is around 3.5 miles south of Boroughbridge and seven miles north-east of Knaresborough.
