Property details
Originally built as cottages in the 16th century, the Evenhill is now a perfectly equipped village pub & restaurant with sixteen letting bedrooms and fantastic outdoor space, in rural Littlebourne, Kent.
Sat just four miles east of historic Canterbury city, Littlebourne is an ancient, residential village nestled in the beautiful Kent countryside. Its great central location means that you are just a stone’s throw away from family attractions such as Howletts and Wingham Wildlife parks, a thirty-minute drive to pretty seaside towns and beaches, close to Dover ferry port, and just minutes from the buzz of busy city life.
Internally you will find multiple split-level trade areas for approx.75 covers to include the main bar with a central feature servery and open fireplace, the lower restaurant which is also utilised as the breakfast room for hotel guests, the upper restaurant which can be used for private dining events, and the secluded balcony area. There is a large, well-equipped trade kitchen with a wash-up area, a walk-in fridge, a freezer, and a dry store in the barn directly opposite the kitchen and additional barn storage space. To the back of the property, you will find a barn conversion accommodation block with an electronic key entry system, double glazing, and an air-conditioning/heating system. It houses sixteen ensuite letting bedrooms across two floors including a feature room, double, twin, and family bedrooms.
The fantastic garden at the Evenhill maximises your potential to capitalise on food and drink sales during the fairer weather, it boasts a patio area with table seating and the lower and upper gardens with bench seating for approx.100 covers in total, together with private customer parking for approx.50 cars.
The private accommodation is located on the first floor of the main pub building and includes two double bedrooms, a lounge, a kitchen, a bathroom, and plenty of storage.

Trading style
The Evenhill is the only pub in Littlebourne village and although the local community is at the very heart of the day-to-day business, it plays host to a diverse customer base. It trades seven days a week and welcomes friendly villagers looking for a relaxing drink or a Sunday carvery, customers walking or exploring the local area, families and four-legged friends, corporate and leisure custom staying in the area, and cross-channel travellers from nearby Dover.
The Evenhill is looking for new tenants to take over the successful running of the business and has the potential to be available immediately for the right applicant.
