Property details
The White Hart is a large 3-storey coaching inn dating back to the 17th century, located in the heart of the affluent Bedfordshire market town of Shefford. The town is densely populated with residential housing & also boasts a busy High Street of retail & commercial properties. Recent housing developments have increased the population significantly over recent years. The town has a couple of schools, several pubs & restaurants & a good sized Morrisons Supermarket.
The pub offers separate trading areas accessed from its grand central front doorway or from a rear car park, that leads through a large garden, and terraced forecourt & into the restaurant area to the rear of the building. Upstairs are 4 letting bedrooms & accommodation for licensee on the top floor. A small en-suite bedsit is also available for a member of staff. As you enter the building, you will find a large open-plan trading area with a large bar servery directly in front of you. To one side is a pool table area with seating mainly for drinks only. The other side is larger which is a softer seating area & to the rear an area more set for dining. The large commercial kitchen is behind the dining area. Leaving by the rear door, you will be in a good-sized terraced courtyard with a coverage passageway leading to the front street. The terrace leads you onto a large beer garden with some marquee coverings. Adjacent is a car park for approx.10 vehicles. Stairs lead you to the 1st floor where there are 4 letting bedrooms. More stairs lead you to the private accommodation.
The private accommodation consists of a one-bedroom apartment with a living room and a bathroom. A small en-suite bedsit is also available for a member of staff.

Trading style
Currently, the White Hart is drinks-led, only with occasional food offered on event days/nights and private bookings such as funerals, christenings, weddings, and birthdays. A BBQ is often available in the Spring/Summer months in the garden.
The drinks offer is premium with several world beers on offer and rotating cask ales. The wine list and premium spirits are well-stocked at the bar.
The White Hart could suit a good experienced community-led couple with good catering skills. Willing to get involved in the town and build on local events, charity support, and community involvement. Good business acumen and recognising a great opportunity to build a successful business could also suit a first-timer in this particular trade. Private accommodation may restrict families. Great facilities for a great all-round opportunity.
Great opportunity for someone to recognise all the facilities that the property offers, with premium drinks and traditional or fusion food offer whilst maximising the bonus of the letting rooms for occupancy. The outdoor space is large and finishes the site off with everything that a hospitality venue needs. The commercial kitchen is outstanding.
