Property details
Fen Ditton is a village on the far outskirts of Cambridge, in the South Cambs district, just to the east of the River Cam. The village consists of circa 1200 residents and has plenty of amenities including two pubs (this one, and a destination dining riverside pub), a large church, a restaurant with letting rooms, and a popular primary school. The village also provides great road access to the east and west via the A14, and south via the M11 link nearby with the nearest train station being Cambridge North. The King's Head is set in the heart of the village opposite the church and is a convenient meeting place for the locals and visitors from surrounding villages.
The Kings Head is accessed from the side of the pub and has one main trade space and two smaller sung rooms. Upon entering the site, you immediately face the large central bar and the open plan drinking area which is well decorated and home to an inglenook open fireplace. This is where most people tend to socialise and where you will find access to the ladies and gent's facilities. To your left, you will find a comfortable relaxing space and also the darts board which is currently home to a couple of regular darts teams. Down a couple of steps, you will find doors to both of the cosy rooms which could also be used for meetings and private functions.
From the side of the building or through the corridor to the toilets, you will find access to the large and open garden space with a storage barn and lots of benches - a great space to sit in the summer and enjoy some al fresco drinking.
This private accommodation consists of three bedrooms, a bathroom and a lounge upstairs and a kitchen downstairs.

Trading style
The pub is currently operating very much as a villager's drinking and socialising pub. Locals enjoy the peace and quiet of having a drink with friends without the hustle and bustle of a busy food offer or live sports. The drinks offered are fairly varied and suited to the locals that use the site and there are darts and crib teams throughout the week.
The Kings Head is becoming available due to retirement after nearly 20 years with the current licensees. It will need a strong licensee (or couple) to really get this pub back on track and ideally, the new licensee will be seasoned and know the local market, as well as be able to identify trends from the vibrant Cambridge business sector. The opportunity exists to engage sports teams, add music and sports events inside, increase trading hours, and develop a coherent range of products from beers and wines to spirits.
This pub needs to re-establish itself at the heart of the community. Engaging with village life and creating a decent offer across all product categories will see good returns for the new licensee.
