Property details
The Station is a small, end-terrace property on the main high street passing through Langley Moor, a popular residential suburb of Durham. The Station is in a great location with a main road to the front, so it always has a strong passing trade alongside lots of other local amenities nearby meaning there is always a buzz of people on the street. Surrounding the pub, there are large residential housing areas. Langley Moor is well-connected by road. The A690 road runs through or near Langley Moor, providing access to nearby towns and cities such as Durham, Sunderland, and Newcastle upon Tyne alongside regular bus services offering services to residents to access local amenities.
Upon entrance from the main street, you can turn left to the main bar and right to the lounge offering locals a choice of atmospheres to enjoy. The main bar area is a mixture of low-level loose seating with TVs adorning the walls showing live sports, a darts board, and a small stage area for live music. The central bar to the left of the door goes between both bars via an open doorway and is stocked with premium products. Through to the back of the main bar, there are ladies and gents toilets and a snug room complete with a pool table for team sports and friendly competition. The lounge area is cosy and welcoming with a mixture of loose low-level seating and sofas complete with soft furnishing and carpeted throughout. The mixture of exposed brick walls against the part-panelled walls creates a shabby chic feel. This is a great little pub in a fantastic location and is the hub of the community and a must-stop site for the many shoppers/passers-by.
The private accommodation, located on the first floor consists of a lounge, kitchen, bathroom, office, and three large bedrooms and is in immaculate condition.

Trading style
The Station Inn has a strong focus on serving its local community while also attracting passing traffic. Currently trading as wet led only, it has the scope to introduce a back bar simple food offering. Continuing to focus on these key elements—live sports, team sports, live music, and value drink promotions—The Station Inn can maintain its status as a popular community hub while also appealing to passing traffic. Consistency, variety, and value are key to keeping locals coming back for more.
There is a prime opportunity to capitalize on passing traffic while maintaining a strong appeal to the local community. The landlords are looking for a licensee who possesses strong local knowledge and a genuine passion for community pubs. Understanding the needs and preferences of the local community is crucial to this site, and introducing a straightforward sandwich-type lunch menu and basic coffee options and offering value deals across drinks and food categories is essential in attracting and retaining customers, especially in an area where value is key. Also recognizing the importance of a vibrant weekend offering, the licensee should curate a diverse calendar of events to keep locals engaged and excited. This will be encouraged by a strong marketing plan, utilizing social media to reach a wide audience. All the above are key in keeping The Station Inn as the thriving community hub it is renowned for.
