A celebrated six-bedroom inn at the heart of the picturesque town of Usk, Monmouthshire, is hitting the auction block—offering a rare chance to own a thriving business in one of Wales’ most charming locales.
The New Court Inn, a much-loved public house on the historic Maryport Street, has been meticulously transformed by its current owners into a bustling hub for locals and visitors alike. Now, this landmark property is being offered for sale by Paul Fosh Auctions with a guide price of £399,000-plus.
Set within a vibrant community just a stone’s throw from Usk Castle and scenic riverside walks, the striking two-storey inn boasts a welcoming bar, a stylish split-level restaurant with seating for 55 guests, a commercial kitchen, and a conservatory leading to a delightful garden space.
Upstairs, five beautifully appointed letting rooms provide an excellent income opportunity for anyone looking to continue the current inn or expand into AirBNB, while a sixth ensuite bedroom is partially renovated and ready for completion. The property also comes with planning permission to convert part of the building into a private residence, offering an ideal living space for new owners or an additional investment opportunity.
“The current owners have poured their hearts into revitalizing the New Court Inn, turning it into the charming and successful establishment it is today,” said Debra Bisley, who is handling the sale for the South Wales-based auctioneers.
“It’s been an integral part of the community, and while it’s a shame to see it change hands, this sale presents an incredible opportunity for someone to take the reins and continue its success.”
Recent upgrades, including a full electrical rewire in March 2021 with NAPIT certification, along with a brand-new central heating system and gas boiler, make this property move-in ready.
Nestled in Usk’s vibrant town centre, Maryport Street is famed for its local markets, annual events, and a strong emphasis on locally sourced goods—an ideal location for a thriving hospitality business.
With planning already in place for alterations, including separate on-site living accommodation and a new kitchen facility, the potential for growth is immense. For more details, prospective buyers can refer to Monmouthshire Council planning references DM/2023/00270 and DM/2023/00271.
Debra said: “For those seeking a turnkey business opportunity in one of Wales’ most scenic and historic towns, the New Court Inn presents an unmissable chance to invest in both community and success.
“Interested parties should act fast—properties of this calibre don’t stay on the market for long!”
The Inn, along with some ninety others, is included in Paul Fosh Auctions online sale which starts from 12 noon on Tuesday, March 11 and ends from 5pm, on Thursday, March 13
