Description

The Unicorn is situated in the charming and quintessential Buckinghamshire village of Cublington. The village lies approximately 7 miles north of Aylesbury, 5 miles west of Leighton Buzzard and 11 miles south east of Buckingham. The village lies in an area of stunning countryside and the Unicorn is nestled in the heart of the village.

The area is predominately accessed via the A418 which runs between Leighton Buzzard and Aylesbury which in turn provides fast dual carriageway access to the M1 and M25 at junction 20. Mainline railway services are available from nearby Leighton Buzzard Station, with services to Milton Keynes Central, Berkhamsted and London Euston. Due to the strong communications, the area is a popular residence within London's commuter belt.

The Unicorn occupies a notable detached public house situated along Cublington's High Street. This Grade II listed property is understood to date back to the 17th Century and is of brick construction under a pitched tile roof. The property has been wisely invested in during the occupation of the current owners. The property is listed as an Asset of Community Value.
