Occupying a prominent corner site in the heart of East Anglia. The Bell fronts the B1506, a very busy road linking the world-famous racing town of Newmarket to the beautiful Suffolk market town of Bury St Edmunds.

Newmarket is home to the world-famous July and Rowley Mile horse racing courses, Tattersalls Sales ring, The National Horseracing Museum and The Jockey Club.

The town is surrounded by some of the worlds most famous stud farms, including Cheveley Park Stud, Dalham Hall, Banstead Manor, Plantation, Landwades, and the iconic National Stud, all housing some of the worlds best thoroughbreds.

Main bar with heavily timbered beams and a large open Inglenook fireplace. Oak timbered varnished bar and seating for approximately 18 people. The upper level of the bar area accommodates up to 30 covers and has a small feature fireplace (unused) with opening to a further 30 cover restaurant.

Public/ lounge bar with its own entrance, or accessed from the main bar currently used as a separate business, but if needed offers a further 28 covers.

Large commercial kitchen with a recently fitted canopy and 2 x 6 ring gas cookers and a range of fryers. Separate washing up area, pantry, freezers and fridges and an abundance of stainless steel work tables and shelving.

An exceptional and unique opportunity to acquire the freehold of a well-established family business, encompassing a pub, restaurant and rooms. This property has been meticulously maintained and updated, preserving its original charm throughout the years under the current ownership. The business is currently operating at 50% potential due to other business commitments and offers huge potential to increase turnover, therefore the current trading figures will vastly differ from the potential.

The current owners are still very active in the day-to-day running of the business but wish to relocate and retire.

Figures are available after viewing.
