About this property
C17th Grade II listed historic public house
Prominent position on busy crossroads
Three character trading areas (91)
Gardens and car parking (38+)
Three bedroom owners’ accommodation
Available on new free-of-tie lease
This property is probably the most prominently located of any public house in the whole of Herefordshire. The cliché ‘landmark property’ is often overused, but this pub stands at the junction of the A438 Hereford to Ledbury road and the A417 which runs from Cirencester joining the A49 just south of Leominster. The surrounding village takes its name from the public house. It is only three miles from the expanding and popular medieval market town of Ledbury and 9 miles to the centre of the riverside cathedral city of Hereford.
The Trumpet Inn is a historic Grade II listed 17th century black and white inn set in a large plot. In addition to the trading and owners’ accommodation, has extensive gardens and car parking and a wealth of period charm and character and is extremely well presented with a good established level of trade.
The property is briefly described as follows:

The room has a wealth of period charm and character including beamed walls and ceiling. Counter from bar servery which has panel frontage and is ‘L’ shaped. In total there is seating for approximately 20 or so customers. There is a small dining room off which has boarded floor, heavily beamed walls and ceiling, raised fireplace with beamed lintel over and traditional seating for 20 customers. The main restaurant has been created in a more modern extension to the side and rear of the property having a conservatory style feel with full length glazing on three sides.
