Property details
The Wheatsheaf is located in the rural village of Woodplumpton and is the only pub in the village, serving both Woodplumpton and the surrounding hamlets. Around 369 adults live within walking distance, while there are no competing pubs within a 20-minute walk, making the Wheatsheaf an important part of the local community.
The pub currently has an opportunity to attract more destination visits. Following the refurbishment, it will be repositioned as a reinvigorated premium local, appealing particularly to families and casual diners as well as customers looking to watch sport and enjoy key events.
The project will refresh the pub throughout, improve its roadside presence and upgrade the commercial kitchen to support a stronger food proposition.
With refreshed surroundings, a stronger food proposition and a renewed focus on community occasions, the Wheatsheaf has the opportunity to become a true "pub as hub" for the village while also attracting customers from further afield.
The pub's trading area and facilities post-refurbishment will be:
- Main trading area with bar
- Snug area
- Separate games and sports zone
- Approximately 80 internal covers
- Catering kitchen
- HEINEKEN SmartDispense
- Pub garden
- Approximately 90 external covers
- Car park with approximately 19 spaces
The private accommodation consists of three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a utility room.

A refurbishment in the region of £214,250 is planned for the Wheatsheaf, Woodplumpton, transforming it into a contemporary premium local that reflects the heritage of the property, with a strong focus on home-cooked food, outstanding service and its role at the heart of the village.
Externally, the Wheatsheaf will benefit from complete decoration and new signage, creating a refreshed and appealing roadside presence that clearly signals the significant investment being made in the pub.
Internally, decoration throughout will create a traditional country pub look and establish a welcoming premium local capable of catering for a variety of occasions. The refreshed environment will help place the Wheatsheaf back at the heart of the local community while giving customers from outside the village more reasons to visit.
The commercial kitchen will also be upgraded to support a developed food proposition and enable the pub to attract destination dining trade. Food will be key to the future business, with the opportunity to build a reputation around great home-cooked dishes and outstanding service.
Alongside dining, the Wheatsheaf has the potential to become a village hub for watching sport, key events and community occasions. The new operator will have the opportunity to develop these areas of the offer and bring their own ideas to the business.
This investment will reposition the Wheatsheaf as a relevant premium local and help rebuild its reputation within the community. Its position as the only pub in the village, combined with upgraded facilities, an improved food offer, refreshed interiors and stronger kerb appeal, creates an opportunity to increase both local and destination visits.
The refurbishment is anticipated to double turnover, supported by increased food trade, more occasions to visit and greater appeal to customers from Woodplumpton and the surrounding area.
Attitude is more valuable than experience. If you’ve got the following, we’d love to hear from you.
- Understanding of the local community
- You know what it takes to build a successful business
- You love hospitality and are great with customers.
The successful operator will embrace the Wheatsheaf's position within the village and develop a truly community-focused proposition. Food will be central to the offer, while there is also scope for the new operator to shape the pub's wider events and entertainment offer.
