Search to find new owner for empty Shropshire pub - viewing day announced

An estate agent is set to hold a special viewing day for an empty Shropshire pub that is on the market and in need of a new landlord.

Sidney Phillips are hosting the occasion on Thursday (November 12) for the Three Horseshoes Inn in Sambrook, which is located to the north of Newport.

The marketers are inviting prospective publicans to register both freehold and leasehold interest in the pub.

The Three Horseshoes Inn has been closed since October 2025.

Before its closure, it was a “vibrant” pub that served local residents and had a “destination dining” element to it, the Sidney Phillips advert reads.

The estate agent said: “There is undoubtedly an opportunity for the pub to reopen and also scope to use the paddock for the development of the business, whether that be for events or camping.

“This would, of course, be subject to planning consent (if required).”

The pub has a public bar - capable of seating 28 people - a lounge bar, a snug area, and kitchen facilities.

It also has owners’ accommodation, car parking facilities to manage 40 vehicles, a beer garden and a one-acre paddock area.

Marketers are offering a six-year term leasehold deal with a nil premium.

Rent would be £15,000 a year - paid quarterly in advance - with a £6,000 bond payment.

A Sidney Phillips spokesperson said: “If you would like to schedule an appointment, please call the office to confirm.”
