Public accommodation is on ground floor only with an extension to the rear. The owners accommodation is on first and second floors. The owners accommodation can be accessed internally through the pub as well as a separate entrance at the side of the property. It includes kitchen, lounge, dining room, 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It is very unusual to get this quality of owner accommodation to accompany a business.

The pub offers excellent entertainment including a jukebox and 5 televisions. Our clients carried out a significant extension to the property and created a superb addition to the pub with the addition of the games room area. This area is open plan to the pub and consists of a bright open plan area with pool table and separate darts lanes and quiz machines. This area of the business is well lit with velux style window and doors which open to the beer garden area. This space can be used very flexibly. It can be utilised by new owners to perhaps introduce a dedicated food/restaurant space or harness the potential further for functions and parties.

The business has been in our clients hands for the last 9 years. During this time our clients have transformed and developed the business and property. The Brig is now offered in excellent walk-in condition for new owners. The pub trades very strongly and new proprietors may wish to concentrate on increasing the food side of the business. The Brig is a very neatly presented business ready to be taken to the next trading level by new owners.
