Dragoon

Description

Detached two-storey building under a pitched tiled roof, with single storey extensions to the rear, which have recently been refurbished so is in good order throughout. Located in an established residential area, so the pub should benefit from both local and drive-to trade, with good scope for any new owner to develop the food side of the business. The village is a short distance from the towns of Huntingdon, St Neots and St Ives.

Location

Brampton is a fast expanding village, just west of Huntingdon, close to the junction of the A1(M) and A14. These road and rail links make it a popular commuter village for London and Cambridge. Local attractions include Grafham Water, Hinchingbrooke Country Park, Huntingdon Racecourse and the historic city of Cambridge.

Ladies WC. Small area to the rear with access off to the gentleman's and disabled WC's. Good sized trade kitchen to the rear of the bar servery, separate store room/dry goods store.

The Opportunity

The Dragoon pub in Brampton presents an exciting opportunity for new ownership. Having closed its doors in July 2020, this pub was previously celebrated for its traditional real ale, classic pub fare, a pool table for casual gatherings, and regular entertainment on the rear patio. With the chance to either purchase the freehold or take on a new lease, the Dragoon pub offers untapped potential for rejuvenation and revitalization. This iconic venue, steeped in community history, awaits a visionary proprietor to revive its legacy and create new memories for locals and visitors alike.
