Lease A Pub In Foxton – The Black Horse Is Available !
The Black Horse is a detached rendered, brick building located in the quintessential village of Foxton, home to families and commuters. Foxton is a small village near the A6 trunk route approximately five miles from Market Harborough and 10 miles south east of Leicester, in the county of Leicestershire. There are local bus services to both towns and the village itself is on the Grand Union canal, a short walk from the local Foxton Locks attraction. There are two public houses in the village, a village hall and a primary school with Foxton being serviced by Market Harborough train station which is approximately three miles away. London and Birmingham can also each be reached by train in approximately 50 minutes. A traditional village with 200 houses and around 450 residents, Foxton is generally affluent and well-heeled.
Pub Layout
Having been extended in a number of places over the years, the Black Horse now boasts two main different trading zones. There are two entrances to the trade areas; the main entrance leads down from the large car park into the lounge bar area which is efficiently set up for dining, as it connects to a vaulted extension with 60 covers. This in turn leads out to the beautiful gardens and a terrific patio area, partially covered by a stretched tent and festoon lighting, with benches and heating and there is also an outhouse that is setup as a tea room. The second entrance is located to the front where you will find the main bar servery straight ahead which is well set up for drinking, meeting friends and enjoying a beer with some sport on TV. There is a compact but well equipped trade kitchen located to the rear of the pub in between the trade spaces giving great access to both areas and this is also where you will find the customer toilets.
Private Accommodation
There is a lounge, three well sized bedrooms, a small office area, a kitchen and a bathroom situated in the private accommodation.
