Location
The property is situated along Haslemere Road in the charming village of Brook, nestled within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The surrounding area is predominantly rural and residential, with a mix of characterful cottages, larger detached homes, and open countryside. Brook offers a peaceful village atmosphere while benefiting from proximity to nearby towns and local amenities.
The location enjoys strong appeal from both residents and visitors, positioned approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) southwest of Godalming and 5 miles (8 km) northeast of Haslemere. These nearby towns provide a broad range of retail, dining, and leisure facilities, along with well-regarded schools and transport links.
Brook is well connected via the A3, offering easy access to Guildford (approximately 9 miles/14.5 km to the north) and Portsmouth (approximately 30 miles/48 km to the south). Milford railway station is located just 2.5 miles (4 km) away, providing direct services to London Waterloo, further enhancing the area's accessibility.
Surrounded by scenic countryside, woodland, and walking trails, including those around Witley Common and the Devil’s Punch Bowl, the area is particularly attractive to walkers, cyclists, nature enthusiasts and customers from the cricket pitch from across the road.

Externally, to the rear is a formal beer garden for approximately 110 customers. The rear has views across the Surrey Hills.

Please note that the single storey covered customer area (referred to as “outside bar” shown in pictures) has been removed.
The Business
The Dog & Pheasant is closed and previously operated under a lease agreement and was a food-orientated pub and restaurant. The building provided flexible trading spaces to generate income streams from a food, drink and events (the split between food and drink was approximately 50/50). In particular, the generous outdoor space is ideal for summer BBQs, live music, family events and al fresco dining, with ample room for additional seating, pop-up bars, or even a garden kitchen. The location is well suited to families, dog walkers, and social meet-ups; the beer garden is a major draw throughout the warmer months.
