Property details
Dating back to the 1500s and built during the reign of Henry VIII, the Bell Inn is a striking, character-filled destination dining pub & restaurant with great outdoor space, set in the heart of rural Smarden village, in Kent. Located just west of Ashford, Smarden is one of Kent’s most picturesque villages, renowned for its fifteenth and sixteenth-century cottages, medieval church, and warm, close-knit community. The village also draws regular visitors thanks to the hugely popular Big Cat Sanctuary, creating valuable passing and tourist trade.
Internally, the Bell delivers everything that you would expect from a premium country pub. The spacious L-shaped trade area features exposed oak beams, flagstone floors, hops and fairy lights, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. You will find the main bar area with a statement servery and open fireplace, a small, cosy snug for intimate drinking and dining and a separate restaurant dining room, for approximately 75 covers in total. The ground floor trade kitchen is well-proportioned with dedicated prep space, a wash-up area and a cold store.
To the rear of the property, a substantial grassed garden offers exceptional seasonal potential and is complete with an outside bar and BBQ area, making it perfect for events, live music, private functions or summer dining. The large private customer car park adds further convenience and destination appeal.
The generous private accommodation is set out on the first floor of the property and includes three double bedrooms, a lounge, a kitchenette, a utility room, an office, a bathroom and a separate shower room.

Trading style
The Bell is a well-established, food-led operation with particularly strong weekend trade. It currently trades just Tuesday to Saturday, with the opportunity to extend trading hours, and the elevated, quality pub menu centers around traditional, home-cooked country fare.
The pub presents a fantastic opportunity for a passionate chef operator, ambitious publican, or experienced restaurateur ready to unlock the next level of performance. It is available from late April 26 on either the traditional tenancy model or on a tenanted business partnership agreement.
