Limekilns: The Ship Inn, a charming pub with a rich history, is up for grabs. It’s been around for 200 years and even made an appearance in Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel “Kidnapped.” How cool is that?
This lovely spot overlooks the Firth of Forth and has a restaurant on the ground floor. Plus, there’s living space at the back and on the upper floors. Perfect for someone looking to run a pub and live right there!
The owners’ living area is pretty unique for a pub, featuring four bedrooms and three bathrooms. That’s a lot of space for a business like this!
The pub was last on the market in 2019 and is now listed for offers over £535,000. Not too shabby for a piece of history, right?
Limekilns is a small village with about 1,500 residents, but the Ship Inn gets a good amount of tourist traffic. It’s close to Culross, where they filmed “Outlander,” so you know it’s a popular spot.
The listing from Strutt and Parker mentions that the pub would be a great fit for chefs. It’s currently managed by a skilled team, but there’s plenty of potential for someone with culinary dreams.
Limekilns is described as an attractive place to live and work, with stunning views of the Forth and the three bridges. It’s a peaceful spot that could be perfect for the right buyer.
