Description

The Old Inn is a historic and renowned Cornish Inn, reputedly dating back to the 11th century. It stands as the sole public house in St. Breward and is situated right next to the hilltop Parish Church. Perched at approximately 720 feet above sea level, The Old Inn holds the distinction of being the highest public house in Cornwall.

This building, which initially encompassed only the middle bar area and kitchens, was constructed at the same time as the original church and served as the residence for the monks who were engaged in building the church. Within the bar areas, you can still find the original granite fireplaces, believed to be from this very era. Notably, the fireplace behind the front bar has recently been uncovered and meticulously restored by the current owners.

The Old Inn also offers flexible accommodation above, providing a comfortable home for potential buyers or presenting further investment opportunities. The current owners have made significant investments and improvements during their 25-year ownership. The reason for the sale is due to the vendor's desire to pursue other business interests.
