The White Horse is in a very accessible location between the M6, A6 and A66. Penrith and Appleby both have railway stations on the West Coast line and the Settle-Carlisle line, respectively. It is on the fringes of the Lake District (within 15 minutes' drive), the Yorkshire Dales and Hadrian's Wall. Kings Meaburn is a pretty village in Cumbria's stunning Eden Valley, an area known for quality, local produce, and increasingly recognised as a 'foodie destination'. The Lakeland Fells are on one side and the Pennines on the other, while the lovely river Lyvennet flows nearby. The area attracts many holidaymakers, walkers and cyclists.

This is a free house and is in every way the perfect English country pub that has recently been fully refurbished and redecorated to an exceptionally high standard. The whole building has been completely insulated; walls, windows, floors and ceilings, to maximise fuel efficiency. Solar panels have also been installed on the roof above the guest bedrooms to further offset energy costs. The bar area's stunning stone inglenook fireplace has an eco-grade wood burner with ample local wood supply available. In the past, it was known for its real ale, excellent food and the Eden Valley Beer Festival.

It is now a bar restaurant with two stylish new en suite guest bedrooms and new toilets. The restaurant holds up to 47 covers internally. The catering kitchen has also been refurbished with a new gas interlock and a walk-in fridge system. In addition to providing great food for guests, there is potential to provide outdoor catering with two award-winning wedding venues nearby, as well as several local winter shoots. There is potential for live music internally and in the garden.

The creation of a stunning new outdoor seating area/beer garden in a beautiful enclosed garden with views across fields and woodland to the fells. The lower end of the beer garden also benefits from a grass area, perfect for children to play safely away from the road. While the enclosed garden will provide a further 40 outdoor places, some of which are under cover with heating and lighting provided. There is parking at the front, with wiring installed for EV charging, and ample on-road parking as well as the village car park sited nearby.

There is a significant opportunity for further innovative development within the outbuildings to the rear of the property. This may include additional dining/function room facilities and the potential of a vending machine to service visitors to the pub, locals and caravan park visitors (two sites within the village). The landlords would be willing to discuss this investment with the right applicant.

There is private accommodation onsite which has been finished to the same exceptional standard as the whole premises. A large apartment on the first floor includes two king-size bedrooms and a superb family bathroom. The beautiful open-plan living area has a brand new kitchen and lovely views. The property also has a private entrance at the rear.
