Property details
The Black Horse is a large, double-fronted, traditional terraced style pub, situated in the secondary high street of Chelmsford, known as Moulsham Street and has the capacity for around 40 people. Surrounded by shops, bars and residential properties, the Black Horse is at the centre of this bustling community. Chelmsford is a busy and thriving city in the county of Essex and has fantastic commuting links straight into London and is also only 20 minutes from the coast. With a population of around 180,000 in the wider area, Chelmsford started as an agriculture and market town, but over the years has grown into a cosmopolitan centre for industry and commerce. With three shopping centres, six retail parks, two high streets and a sizeable business park, Chelmsford is a fantastic location to be in and being part of the vibrant nightlife scene with its many bars, pubs and restaurants, it will be the perfect spot for someone looking to run this great little pub.
The main access for the Black Horse is via the front door which comes straight off from the high street into the centre of the pub. You immediately arrive at the main trading space of the pub which is traditionally decorated and provides comfortable low and high-level seating both to the left and to the right with a cosy open fireplace and large bright windows. The bar servery is along the right-hand side of the pub and frames a short corridor space through to the pool/darts area and also access to both toilets, the kitchen and the door to the enclosed garden.
The outside area is kept in great condition and is a mixture of artificial grass area, decking and patio space with plenty of benches and an external cooking zone with an additional outside bar.
The private accommodation consists of 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and a bathroom.

Trading style
The Black Horse is very much a community pub and is currently frequented predominantly by locals and nearby residents of the area. The drink sales are the core of the business and are well supported by the customer base offering a good selection of standard and premium beverages as well as a variety of cask ales. Currently, there is also a limited food offer at the site with Sunday dinners proving popular alongside a regular rhythm of the week with live music, drag bingo, lucky dip karaoke, live televised sporting events, and regular quiz nights.
The Black Horse already boasts a great customer base, however, it could use a refreshed outlook on sales to widen this trading audience with a different drinks offer and potentially a strengthened food offer. The opportunity to maximise the live music reputation is unlimited and the venue lends itself well to hosting and promoting such events. The outside area is a positive facility as there are not many in the area with the same and this needs to be a focus point, being promoted and utilised to its maximum potential.
