SURREY - PROFITABLE PUB WITH LETTING ROOMS

The Half Moon is situated in the highly desirable Surrey village of Ripley, approximately 6 miles south-east of Woking. Being in the London Greenbelt, Ripley is surrounded by luscious countryside and very much retains a country feel. The area is well utilised by walkers, cyclists and day trippers who visit nearby attractions including RHS Garden Wisley, Dunsborough Park, Woking Palace and Newark Lock and Priory.

The village lies a stone's throw from the A3, a vital arterial trunk road running between Portsmouth and London via Guildford. The village is conveniently situated a short drive from the M25 and as a result, is one of the most desirable residential locations for those working in West and Central London.

The Half Moon is a prominent two-storey mid-terrace public house, of red brick construction under a pitched tile roof. Despite its character, the property is not a listed building. It has been tastefully modernised in recent years to a high standard throughout.

The Half Moon has operated under its current tenure for the past 31 years and has become a well-known and popular public house. It enjoys not only local trade but also from those passing through and visiting the area. At present, it offers a classic British pub food offering, however this is run to suit the lifestyle of the owner and could greatly be pushed by a new operator. There is also potential to extend the opening hours.
