The Grafton Hotel is a detached property nestled among the Newland Avenue area of the city, just ¾ of a mile from the city centre. Newland Avenue is a popular vibrant area close to Hull University which is home to numerous bars and restaurants frequented by the student population. The pub itself is located on Grafton Street, a residential area consisting of terraced housing with a number of these let to university students. This iconic pub is famous for its links with the Housemartins and the Beautiful South as front man Paul Heaton lived locally and the Grafton was a favourite watering hole for both bands, providing inspiration for some of their lyrics.
The trading area is divided into a traditional two-room layout, with both rooms served by a central bar. The main bar area is accessed from the car park and features a mixture of fixed and loose seating, TVs and a pool table. The second bar area also features a mix of fixed and loose seating, TVs (including a large screen projector) and darts oche, and is regularly used as a function room as it has its own bar and toilets. This room is ideal for meetings, parties, christenings and hosting live entertainment. Outside the pub, there is a drinking terrace to the front of the building with bench seating and overhead lighting. To the rear of the property there is an enclosed beer garden with bench seating and a timber gazebo, and to the side of the pub is a good sized car park with space for up to 15 cars.
The private accommodation is in good order and consists of a lounge, kitchen, bathroom and three good sized bedrooms.

The Grafton is already a very popular community pub with a good reputation in the local area. Licensee (s) will need to deliver consistent high standards and a variety of activity to ensure the business maximizes sales and remains the hub of the community. A passion for pub sports and live music would be beneficial especially with its iconic music heritage. In addition with some investment a back bar food offer could be introduced for applicants with the right catering skills.
