Historic pub outside Derbyshire town on the market as ‘devastated’ landlords leave after eight years

The Three Stags Heads on Main Road, Darley Bridge is currently listed for lease on Rightmove.

Its former landlords announced back in September 2022 that they were ‘devastated’ to be moving on from the venue – and the search is now on for new tenants to take on the running of the pub.

The pub is situated on the edge of the Peak District National Park – just a few miles away from both Matlock and Bakewell. The property incorporates a full-operational pub on the ground floor, with a bar, kitchen, 40-cover restaurant and seating area. It also includes two open fires, toilets, a storeroom and beer cellar.

Upstairs is a four-bedroom flat, which could serve as a home for the new landlords, but requires a modest scheme of renovation.

Outside, there is beer garden which can accommodate up to 80 guests, and a car park with around 25 spaces. Other outbuildings include toilets, a coal store, further storage and a garage.

The lease for the venue would cost £28,000 per annum, with a £14,000 deposit to be paid.
