The Sun Inn is currently tenanted but will be sold with full vacant possession.

Acomb is a 'quaint' village in Northumberland, according to estate agents Christie & Co, and is situated just two miles north of Hexham on the north bank of the River Tyne.

It is located just two miles north of Hexham and benefits from its proximity to tourist attractions such as Hadrian’s Wall and Hexham Abbey.

The pub also sits near key road links, including the A69 and A6079, providing easy access to Carlisle, Newcastle, and surrounding areas.

The property includes six letting rooms, a mix of private and shared bathrooms, designed to offer comfortable accommodation for guests.

There is also a two-bedroom owners’ flat with an open-plan kitchen and living room.

A large beer garden at the rear provides outdoor seating and space for events during warmer months.

The Sun Inn is being marketed as an opportunity to acquire a "characterful country inn" with strong potential for growth.

The business offers multiple revenue streams through food, drink, and overnight stays.

Its location near major tourist sites and walking routes supports steady year-round trade.

Fixtures and fittings will be included in the sale, subject to an inventory.

The rateable value of the property is currently listed at £4,500 as of April 1, 2023.

The pub is fully licensed and holds an EPC rating of C.

No trading information has been provided due to the sale being offered with vacant possession.

The Sun Inn is particularly well-suited for hands-on operators or those seeking a lifestyle business in a rural setting.

The location and layout make it attractive to both locals and tourists.

The pub currently operates from 11am to 11pm.

Breakfast is served from 8am to 12pm Monday to Saturday, with lunch from 12pm to 5pm and dinner from 5pm to 9pm.

The sale is being handled by Christie & Co and is listed under reference 6450577.
