Key Features
Location
The village of Brookend is located in Gloucestershire within the Vale of Berkeley between the River Severn and the M5 Motorway. It has good communication links, being close to the A38 and the M5 which provide easy access to the nearby centres of Bristol (16 miles) and Gloucester (18 miles). The village is 2 miles equidistant between the tourist town of Berkeley with its renowned castle and the busy docks at Sharpness.
The subject premises appear to be constructed in the main of brick with colourwashed elevations under a tiled roof and have the benefit of an extensive draw on car park to the front with a large garden to the rear. Prior to closure, the business operated as a traditional village pub and restaurant serving the local population, and benefitted from trade from the numerous visitors to nearby attractions, including Berkeley Castle and the Slimbridge Wildfowl Wetlands Trust.
