The 18th century Grade II listed country house and former residence is part of the Belvoir Estate, offering an exciting opportunity for an experienced operator to create a successful business in a stunning building.
Steeped in history, the building was converted to a public house in the late 20th century, and following recent renovation works it is ready for a new operator to take it on and commence trade. The venue comprises a well-fitted bar, two dining areas, and ten en suite letting bedrooms, set within extensive grounds and mature gardens which have regularly played host to events, functions and weddings.
The Manners Arms is located in Knipton, close to Belvoir Castle, Grantham and Melton Mowbray, benefitting from excellent road transport links.
The Duchess of Rutland commented, “I am delighted to share the newly restored Manners Arms, a Grade II listed treasure on the Belvoir Estate. This 1880s hunting lodge has been lovingly refurbished, preserving its historic charm such as the slate roof, sash windows, and elegant staircases, while introducing a modern bar, dining room, and ten luxurious en suite bedrooms. Nestled near Belvoir Castle, it’s poised to be a vibrant hub for locals and visitors. We seek a passionate operator to carry forward its legacy as a cornerstone of community and hospitality in the heart of the Vale of Belvoir.”
The sale process is being managed by Jonty Green and Matt Hill at Christie & Co, who added, “The Manners Arms is a unique opportunity to acquire a carefully refurbished, elegant and versatile venue, ready for an operator to take on a new lease and trade straight away. The Vale of Belvoir has a fantastic catchment with a number of terrific hospitality units, and we expect to see a high level of interest in this property.”
