Ye Olde Crown

Ye Olde Crown is a traditional Kent pub dating back to the 1600s, with a pub having occupied the site since the 1300s. Located on the bustling high street in the historic market town of Edenbridge, it benefits from a mix of loyal locals, established affluent residents and visitors exploring the area. The pub is ideally positioned close to popular attractions including Hever Castle and Lingfield Park Racecourse, attracting tourists, leisure visitors and event-goers throughout the year. Excellent transport links, with Edenbridge town and Edenbridge railway stations offering services to London and the surrounding areas, make the town easily accessible for both day visitors and overnight guests. The letting rooms provide an additional income stream and are well suited to attracting racecourse visitors, wedding guests attending local venues, tourists exploring Kent, business travellers and those visiting friends and family in the area. While there is competition from other pubs, restaurants and hotels within Edenbridge and neighbouring villages, Ye Olde Crown's rich history, character, central location and accommodation offering create an opportunity to establish it as both a destination pub and a convenient place to stay.

Entering through the front door, guests are welcomed into a traditional one-bar operation, with the main bar positioned to the left and comfortable seating directly in front. Full of character, the pub retains its country charm with exposed beams and original timbers creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. Beyond the bar is a small reception area leading through to a spacious commercial kitchen. Above the kitchen sits a charming mezzanine restaurant, providing seating for approximately 30 covers and offering a separate dining experience overlooking the main pub. A side door opens onto an attractive enclosed courtyard, which enjoys plenty of sunshine and features a large covered seating area for year-round use. The courtyard also provides access to the six well-appointed letting rooms and the cellar, creating a practical layout for both guests and licensees. Separate access leads to the private accommodation, offering clear separation between the business and living space.

To the rear of the property is a private car park with space for approximately 10 vehicles. Overall, Ye Olde Crown offers a versatile trading opportunity with a traditional bar, dedicated dining space, attractive outdoor seating, six letting rooms providing valuable additional revenue, and a spacious commercial kitchen capable of supporting a strong food-led offer.

The pub also benefits from six letting rooms, including five doubles and one family room, all complete with en-suite facilities, providing an attractive additional revenue stream.

The private accommodation is finished to an excellent standard, offering a comfortable and well-appointed living space comprising four double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, lounge, office and ample storage.
