A historic pub in Biggin Hill has hit the market for six figures with “unique” opportunities for prospect buyers.

The Old Jail Pub on the outskirts of Bromley, currently owned and managed by Star Pubs, has been put up for sale following its closure in February 2023 when the company made the decision to sell it.

Appointed estate agents Fleurets announced this week that the pub has officially hit the freehold market with a guide price of £495,000 along with VAT.

In a statement, Star Pubs said that the pub offers “great potential” for owners to “breathe new life” into this pub for the Bromley community.

This Grade II listed building dating back 200 years is set within seven acres of land in Biggin Hill.

The pub’s name is believed to be associated with its former use as an overnight stop for prisoners being transported between London and Maidstone Prison.

In a statement, Fleurets advised would-be buyers that the pub will need “complete refurbishment” and that the building offers “fantastic potential”, including the possible change of use to the building from its current use as a pub.

Simon Bland, Senior Associate at Fleurets, commented: “Unsurprisingly, we have already received a terrific response, clearly indicating that, even in these challenging times, at the right price buyers are still keen for opportunities to do something completely unique.

“It will be fascinating to see how the next chapter in the Old Jail’s story unfolds.”
