Ten Essex pubs currently seeking new owners

Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 1 Nov, 19:15 · Archive

Ten pubs across Essex are on the market, ranging from village inns to waterfront venues and roadside sites with redevelopment potential.

Ten pubs across Essex are currently for sale, offering aspiring landlords a range of opportunities from historic village inns and waterfront locals to prominent roadside sites with redevelopment potential.

The properties vary considerably in their offerings and condition. One venue on the A127 is being marketed with redevelopment potential and occupies a prominent roadside location. A detached thatched pub and restaurant overlooks the village green and is being sold as a freehold business opportunity. Another pub close to the waterfront and town centre includes letting rooms and has recently been refurbished.

Pricing ranges across the county. One of the cheapest freehold pub opportunities currently advertised in Essex is a Harlow venue on the market for £275,000. Part of that building was fire damaged following a blaze which broke out on Boxing Day 2024.

Some venues have recently changed status. One pub closed in August, marking the end of a ten-year chapter for the Sydney Street venue. A substantial detached pub is located in a semi-rural part of Essex set within nearly three acres of land. A vacant town-centre pub is available on either a freehold or leasehold basis.

The properties include a Colchester pub on Chapel Street South being marketed as a freehold opportunity in one of Essex's largest cities, and a traditional village pub near Braintree being offered freehold that could appeal to buyers looking for an established countryside venue. Located near Dunmow, another public house is among the more affordable freehold pubs currently listed for sale in Essex and went to Strettons auction on 29 October.
