The Shipwrights Arms, one of Cornwall's 'most esteemed' waterfront pubs, has gone on the market with Charles Darrow Business Agents. The 18th Century thatched freehouse is offering investors and operators an opportunity to get their hands on a prestigious freehold property in a prime UK location.
Originally acquired with a vision to preserve, develop, and expand its commercial potential, The Shipwrights Arms has undergone extensive renovations under its current ownership. Jon Clyne, director at Charles Darrow, said: "Our client acquired The Shipwrights Arms to enhance its profitability as a fully managed business.
"Significant investments have been made, with promising growth already evident, prior to accounting for income from the newly added letting suites." Situated in the picturesque village of Helford, The Shipwrights Arms stands as a testament to Cornwall's rich maritime heritage.
The inn features a range of period details infused with a nautical charm, including exposed wooden beams, flagstone slate floors, and historic stone walls. Internally, the inn accommodates up to 92 plus guests across its inviting lounge bar, restaurant areas, and newly built deluxe letting suites. Externally, tiered terraced areas provide seating for over 110 patrons, offering breathtaking views of the Helford River.
"In addition to its charming interior and expansive outdoor seating, The Shipwrights Arms benefits from exclusive amenities such as a private slipway and historically a jetty that was capable of accommodating six or more boats," added Clyne. "This unparalleled setting, coupled with its robust turnover nearing £1 million, positions The Shipwrights Arms as a standout opportunity in Cornwall's hospitality sector."
The property is being offered for sale with a freehold guide price of £1.6 million, reflecting its prime location and substantial recent investments. Prospective buyers are encouraged to explore this outstanding opportunity to acquire a piece of Cornwall's cultural and commercial heritage, poised for future success.
