An exciting business and lifestyle venture with exceptional potential for expansion, located in a popular village on the edge of the Howardian Hills, close to York.

The White Swan Inn at Thornton Le Clay is an outstanding early 18th century village pub, set in a superb location near York and Castle Howard, on the edge of the Howardian Hills AONB. Its sale presents a rare opportunity to purchase a freehold, free-of-tie pub, with fantastic potential for expansion through numerous avenues. Currently closed following a program of renovation works.

The attractive Georgian building extends to over 4000sq ft, currently comprising 2000sq ft of commercial space and 2000sq ft of owners' accommodation. The building has undergone a full structural renovation, including a new roof and replacement rafters where necessary and new insulation. The pub, bar and restaurant interiors are ready to be fitted out to your own style, to offer seating for up to 60 covers. The first floor currently comprises 3 double bedrooms and bathroom completed to a high specification, lounge, kitchen and dining room, but could easily be arranged into 7 double ensuite rooms offering bed and breakfast accommodation, including laundry room and self-catering bedsit (plans available on request).

The 1-acre plot provides a fabulous beer garden, a paddock and ample car parking for approx. 20 vehicles. Subject to planning, the paddock may offer opportunity for glamping options, camping, or hook-ups for camper vans and tourers. In addition, there is a separate detached barn ready for conversion (subject to planning) that could serve as a 2-bed holiday let or owner accommodation, and an old railway carriage ideal for renovation into a lettable glamping room (available by separate negotiation).

Thornton Le Clay is a highly desirable village on the edge of the Howardian Hills AONB, close to the city of York and the North York Moors National Park. Easily accessible via the A64, a main artery of traffic to the renowned Yorkshire coast, the area is hugely popular with tourists and locals alike, year-round.

The next steps...

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

  • They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
  • They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
  • Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
  • They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
  • They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
  • They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

  • You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
  • You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
  • Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
  • They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
  • Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
