Saved pub in north Derbyshire village is put on the market

A centuries old village pub in north Derbyshire – which was saved from the threat of demolition when a council threw out an application for a new cafe in its place – has been put on the market.

Three Horseshoes on High Street, Brimington continues to trade and has the benefit of planning permission in place for an extension. Marketing agent Savills is inviting people who are interested in purchasing the freehold pub (price on application) to contact its Manchester office.

A spokesman for Savills said: “The pub has two public bars and is styled traditionally throughout to a good standard. There is a traditional pub lounge with games area to the front of the property with a function room/bar and additional customer seating area to the rear of the premises. Ancillary trading areas comprise stores, customer wcs, commercial kitchen, and managers office.”

There is private living accommodation on the first floor.

Planning permission has been granted for a single storey extension to the property’s existing east elevation.

Originally built in the 18th century as a coaching inn, the Three Horseshoes is Brimington’s oldest pub.

For further information contact Savills agents Jeff Wraith on 0161 602 8666 or James Faulkner on 0161 236 8644.

*In November 2025, Chesterfield Borough Council rejected an application by Brimington Property Ltd seeking planning consent to knock the pub down and build a drive-thru cafe in its place.

The council was concerned that the proposal would lose a community facility and a non-designated heritage asset and also have an unacceptable impact on highways safety due to the proximity of the site access to a signalised junction and a significant intensification of vehicle movements as a result of the scheme.

County councillor Richard Smith, who launched a petition to save the Three Horseshoes, described the refusal of the planning application as “a massive win.”
