The Castle, Miller's Lane Outwood, Redhill, RH1 5QB

Description

The Castle Inn is a detached, two storey public house, traditionally constructed in brick and now re-rendered in white, set beneath a slated pitched roof with a central pitched porchway.

The property is surrounded by an attractive decked area, complete with a front gate and an access ramp leading from the car park. The property’s signage is positioned centrally on the main elevation, providing strong roadside visibility.

To the right-hand side of the building lies the leased car park, offering approximately 15 spaces. Behind well established foliage is an additional area currently used to house a storage shipping container and the commercial waste bins; however, this space could alternatively be utilised to provide further parking if required. To the front and left-hand side of the property, well placed picnic tables take advantage of the south facing aspect, creating an appealing outdoor seating area. This space is complemented by an external bar and a staircase leading down to the garden, which features a dedicated children’s play area and well-established garden with a pergola for seating.

The Castle Inn is nestled in the picturesque village of Outwood, just north of Redhill in Surrey. Set along the tranquil Miller’s Lane, the inn enjoys a serene countryside setting surrounded by rolling fields, mature woodland, and rich rural character.

The wider area offers excellent lifestyle appeal. Redhill lies only 5.8 miles away, with Horley just 3 miles to the south west, Crawley 6 miles further on, and London approximately 22 miles to the north. Redhill itself blends charming Victorian heritage with modern conveniences, offering easy access to the scenic North Downs, expansive green spaces such as Memorial Park and Redhill Common, and an increasingly vibrant mix of shops, cafés and cultural attractions. These surroundings make the location ideal for walkers, families, and anyone looking to explore the beauty of the Surrey Hills.

Outwood also enjoys excellent transport connectivity. A bus stop situated directly outside the inn provides convenient access for visitors travelling without a car. The nearest rail link is Salfords Station, which offers direct routes into London and across the wider south east. The village is also close to the M23 motorway, allowing quick and straightforward travel to both London and Brighton. In addition, the property benefits from close proximity to Gatwick Airport just 7.2 miles, making it easily accessible for national and international visitors.

Access to the property is gained through the main entrance, via the covered porch, which opens into the main bar area. The ground floor features tartan carpet throughout, complemented by dado rails, painted timber beams, and lower pendant wall lights, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

To the right-hand side of the main bar is an exposed brick, standalone double‑sided fireplace, accompanied by Chesterfield sofas to provide a cosy seating area. On the opposite side of the fireplace is a separate snug. The wooden L‑shaped bar is fitted with bar stools and provides seating for approximately 18 covers. Behind the bar, there is access to the first‑floor accommodation as well as convenient entry to the kitchen.

To the left of the main trade area are the customer WCs, comprising ladies, gents, and a separate accessible toilet. Continuing through an exposed brick archway leads into the main dining area, providing approximately 30 covers. This room features double doors opening onto the side decked area, ideal for extending capacity during the summer months. The dining room is well positioned next to the kitchen, ensuring ease of service for functions and family events.

A doorway from the dining area leads into a fully equipped commercial kitchen. Additional dry storage is located to the rear of the kitchen, with further access to a larger storage area.

All trade fixtures and fittings are included in the sale, except for some personal effects. An inventory will be provided once an offer has been accepted.

The car park is subject to separate leasehold arrangements and the exact position can be dealt with through the solicitors as part of the sale process.

The property benefits from a generously sized decked area that wraps around three sides of the pub. From the left side, double doors lead directly from the main dining area onto the decking, which also includes an external bar for seasonal use. The space is furnished with picnic benches providing approximately 80 covers.

Staircase at the rear leads down to the well established garden, featuring a pergola and a children’s play area, all enclosed with fencing to ensure separation and safety from the car park.
