The George & Dragon Inn, a well-presented and characterful public house in the heart of Melmerby.

An attractive two-storey, end-terrace property is brick-built with a rendered finish and retains a wealth of period features while offering a high standard of accommodation.

Property Features:

• Trade Areas – The internal layout includes front and rear bars, along with a separate restaurant area, providing a welcoming and flexible trading environment.
• Facilities – Customer WCs, a well-equipped commercial kitchen, and basement cellarage.
• Private Accommodation – A spacious four-bedroom living space, comprising a kitchen, living room, and bathroom/WC, ideal for an owner-operator or manager.
• External Areas – An outside drinking terrace at the front, a small trade yard to the rear with external storage and a designated smoking area. Parking is available for approximately 10 vehicles.

Business Potential:

The George & Dragon has been successfully operated for many years and presents a fantastic opportunity for a new owner to continue as a traditional local pub or explore additional revenue streams such as a food-led operation or a B&B offering. The sale arises due to a career change, making this a rare chance to acquire a well-established and popular business.

The property is available on a new lease to be negotiated at a rent starting at £12,000 Per Annum. This significantly reduced rent is offered as an incentive to help the new tenant get going!
