Summary

A rare opportunity to acquire The Old Lamb, a substantial former hotel and B&B property in the sought-after village of Theale.

Extending to approximately 4,520 sq.ft. / 419.9 m², the property comprises two separate buildings. The attractive Grade II Listed 17th-century front building with traditional thatched roof provides former reception, dining/kitchen facilities and manager's accommodation. To the rear is a substantial non-listed accommodation block providing 19 en-suite bedrooms.

The property has operated successfully as a hotel/Bed & Breakfast for many years but is currently closed. The rear accommodation block is vacant while the former manager currently remains in the front accommodation and is due to vacate in November 2026, after which full vacant possession is expected.

The property offers considerable potential for hotel/guest house use, HMO, supported or care accommodation, temporary/homeless accommodation, residential conversion or redevelopment, subject to planning, licensing and other necessary consents. The non-listed rear building may provide additional flexibility for future adaptation or redevelopment.

The property also benefits from parking for approximately 10 vehicles and excellent access to Reading and the M4.
