Description

Description

The White Horse pub in Kirton is a cherished Grade II Listed pub and the only one in the village. This traditional establishment underwent extensive refurbishment after its owner acquired it in 2020. The renovations included the installation of a commercial-grade kitchen. The beer garden was completely transformed, offering a spacious and sunny area for patrons to relax. Additionally, a patio was constructed, which extends under a marquee, providing a versatile space for outdoor dining and entertainment.

Location

Kirton is a charming village nestled in Suffolk, conveniently accessible via the A14. Kirton is located approximately 9.4 miles from Ipswich, which is one of the closest train stations with direct connections to London and other major cities. Kirton is just a short distance from the vibrant, seaside town of Felixstowe. Felixstowe is home to the largest container port in the UK, making it a significant hub for maritime trade.

Internal Details

The White Horse boasts a welcoming and functional interior. It features a bar that extends across two serving areas. The combined bar and marquee restaurant can accommodate at least 50 covers, making it suitable for both casual gatherings and larger events. Beneath the bar lies the cellar, strategically positioned to minimise wastage. On the ground floor, the pub is equipped with a well-appointed kitchen, as well as ladies' and gents' W/Cs. Above the pub, there is private domestic accommodation providing a comfortable living space for the owner or staff.

Fixtures & Fittings

All fixtures and fittings are owned outright and are included in the sales price. An inventory will be provided prior to completion.

External Details

The garden is complimented by a well-designed patio area, providing additional seating and a comfortable space for dining or relaxing. The pub also benefits from a large car park, ensuring convenient access for visitors.
Additionally, there are some storage buildings on the premises.

Owner's Accommodation

The owner's accommodation features three double bedrooms, providing ample living space for a family or staff. The accommodation also includes a sitting room, bathroom and a separate toilet.

The White Horse presents an exciting opportunity for prospective buyers to acquire a freehold village pub with immense untapped potential. Over the past four years, the pub has undergone extensive refurbishment, including high-standard upgrades to its kitchen, beer garden, patio, and marquee area. Its strategic location in Kirton, surrounded by multiple sites offering holiday accommodation and campsites, offers a substantial customer base, particularly during the bustling summer season.
