Brown & Co.offers for sale The Highwayman, a substantial and prominently positioned village public house with living accommodation situated in Walton Highway, close to the Georgian Market town of Wisbech. Viewings are strictly by appointment only.
Location
Walton Highway is a well-appointed village straddling the Norfolk and Cambridgeshire border, just north of the historic Georgian market town of Wisbech. The village offers a range of amenities including a primary school, nursery, public house, fish and chip shop with takeaway, a farm shop, and a well-regarded butcher with an adjoining restaurant and bar.
The area benefits from excellent transport links, with easy access to the A47 and A17, and regular bus services. Mainline rail connections are available at Watlington (approx. 8 miles) and King's Lynn (approx. 12miles), offering direct routes to Ely, Cambridge, and London.
The Property
This is a rare freehold opportunity to acquire a large and attractive detached public house with first-floor living accommodation.
Set in a prominent roadside position, The Highwayman boasts a tarmac car park with 22 designated spaces and a three-bay, concrete sectional garage. The current owners have significantly enhanced the premises, including the creation of a spacious open-plan bar area with bi-folding doors opening onto an enclosed garden-perfect for events or al fresco dining. The original public bar retains its traditional character, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Upstairs, the living accommodation comprises two bedrooms, a study/store, and associated facilities, providing flexible space for owners or staff.
Commercial Potential
The property presents strong ongoing trading potential as a public house but also offers significant versatility. Its size, layout, and location make it suitable for alternative commercial uses-such as retail premises in the form of convenience store or other business uses-subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.
