The total plot is around 4.5 acres with vast potential for further usage

There is a large car park that accommodates 60/70 cars and significant outdoor seating via picnic benches near to the children's playground and a specific beer garden in the immediate grounds of the pub.

Given the size of the plot, the potential for external covers is significant, but current operations have around 130 external covers.

There are two fishing lakes within the plot, which is certainly under-utilised.

There is a 3 bedroom owners flat on the first floor consisting of 3 double bedrooms, a reception room, a kitchen and a bathroom.
