The Lamb, Orlingbury Road, Little Harrowden, Northamptonshire, United Kingdom, NN9 5BH

The pub is a prominent corner two storey property being part stone and part rendered with a slate and tiled roof.

The Lamb is an ideal offering for a suitable buyer who wishes to add value to a stable business model. This prominent corner position in a well populated village could also suit alternative redevelopment subject to planning and building consent. Due to its attractive location, position and overall opportunity available, early viewing is highly recommended.

The pub is located in the centre of the attractive and affluent village of Little Harrowden midway between Kettering and Wellingborough, some 15 miles off the M1 at Northampton.

The pub is divided into three parts. There is a traditional public bar with servery to one side, games area with table skittles and seating for 15. The centrally placed lounge bar is on two levels, again with many original features, bar servery, seating (12) and garden access. The restaurant is up from here, with tables and chairs for 28 diners.

Trade kitchens are off the restaurant and there is a level cellar at the rear.

On the first floor, with an outside access staircase is the function room, which can be use for local events and societies.

Located on the first floor to the rear of the pub is a large function room with its own separate access from the trade garden.

The trade fixtures and fittings are included in the purchase price.

To the rear of the building, is the enclosed trade garden with access to the lounge bar and function room. Part patio, part laid to lawn with covered area. Fronting the village street, there is car parking to the side and rear for around 12 vehicles.

Spacious owner's accommodation arranged over first floor with two bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom, and living room.

The business is available on a leasehold basis of an annual starting rent of £24,500 per annum with rent reviews.

The business was previously a popular village pub, drawing trade from the adjoining villages of Orlingbury and Gt Harrowden, with a wide-ranging pub food menu. The pub is now trading on a partial basis and would suit both a first time buyer and an experienced operator in the sector.

Furthermore, it is felt that the pub would lend itself to alternative use subject to planning permission.
