Property
The Three Horseshoes stands in a good-sized plot with ample car parking and gardens. It has long road frontage, standing opposite a notable junction. The property is of red brick construction beneath a pitch tiled roof. It has an extensive five-section trading area and ample owners’ accommodation at first floor. There are garden areas to both sides of the property and extensive car parking. The business has now been closed for a number of months, but benefits from excellent facilities and should be ready to open, subject to investment and hard work, following a relatively short period.
GROUND FLOOR
The property benefits from extensive TRADING AREAS which are currently unfurnished. The ground floor, which is open plan, is divided into four/five sections all arranged around a CENTRAL BAR SERVERY. The servery has counters to three of these areas and the MAIN BAR is split into two sections by a central double-sided fireplace with raised hearth and cast-iron solid fuel burner. The servery has a tongue & groove panelled front. The main bar areas have boarded floors, part wainscoting and part panelled walls. When furnished we would expect these two interconnecting bar areas to seat about 50 customers.
To one side is a small room which has previously been utilised as an American style ‘diner’ and when fully furnished would be able to cater for approximately 16-20 customers.
Beyond are further DINING SECTIONS arranged around permanently constructed CARVERY DISPENSING AREAS. There is front dining room with stone tiled floor, wainscoting and fireplace, and would be able to cater for about 20 customers. To the rear is a further dining room which is in two sections, having part carpeted and part boarded floor, vaulted beamed ceiling and space to cater for 24/28 customers. Feature glazed ceiling/roof lantern which has probably been utilised to connect two separate buildings.
These trading areas have two separate sets of LADIES’ & GENTLEMEN’S TOILETS to either end, assisting the ergonomics of these areas. Large CATERING KITCHEN having nonslip flooring, but otherwise unfurnished. It is however centrally located and convenient to serve all areas.
To the rear are three/four unfurnished kitchen/service rooms.
