WARWICKSHIRE - THATCHED ROOFED, TRADITIONAL VILLAGE PUB

The Stag & Pheasant Inn is a quintessential English village pub which sits at the centre of Newton, Warwickshire, a sought-after residential village approximately three miles northeast of Rugby town centre. The population is thought to be in the region of 1,500 but ever increasing with further development planned. The village is popular due to its excellent road communication links, being just two miles off junction one of the M6 which links to all the major motorways within the Midlands region: the M1, M45, M69, A5 and A14.

The property enjoys much character having a thatched roof and being of brick construction to the original building, with a more modern brick extension to the rear with pitched roof. Offering a well planned and easy to operate trading area with catering kitchen. It is currently arranged as two separate flats, but with little reorganisation it could be configured to offer one large owner’s accommodation. It benefits from a large car park and private trade gardens.

The Stag & Pheasant Inn has been operated by the current owners since 2020 when the building underwent a thorough refurbishment and redecoration programme prior to opening. The property is presented in very good condition and will require minimal major maintenance for many years to come. Currently offering wet sales only on limited trading hours, but there is scope to introduce a food offering.
