Property description & features

  • Traditional village freehold public house with two self catering holiday let apartments
  • Successfully established business
  • Central location in Ireby village
  • Fringe of Lake District National Park
  • Only twelve miles from Keswick and thirteen miles from Cockermouth
  • Excellent investment opportunity
Ireby is beautifully positioned, nestling north of Keswick in the area known locally as "Back of Skiddaw" right on the fringe of the stunning Lake District National Park, a wonderful UNESCO World Heritage Site. The pretty village itself is steeped in history, from iron age forts to associations with both John Peel and John Keats, it has seen a great deal since its market charter was granted in 1237. Still as picturesque and peaceful as it ever was, this popular location still offers immediate access to some of the most dramatic northern lakes and fells.

Whether you are considering a change of lifestyle or simply seeking a unique business opportunity, Emily's Black Lion offers something out of the ordinary. This attractive traditional village pub enjoys the added benefit of including two delightful and popular holiday letting apartments. With superb views, the location is perfect for those purists seeking a little more peace and quiet than the bustling tourist hotspots now provide, and whilst it may come as no surprise to learn that there are a superb variety of walks on offer from the doorstep (and Skiddaw is just a ten minute drive away) you may be less aware that there are also lovely beaches within 14 miles.

The pub includes both a lounge bar and snug, as well as a commercial kitchen. The cottage style apartments enjoy lovely views. Emily's View offers adaptable accommodation which includes two or three reception rooms, and two or three bedrooms (depending on requirements) a kitchen and a bathroom. Emily's Nook includes an open plan living room and kitchen a bedroom and a bathroom, so a range of demands can be satisfied and both can be let jointly for extended families or groups which encourages an all year round trade.

A superb opportunity - why not change your life for the better and come and see for yourself.

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
