A substantial freehold former public house in Wood Street Village, offered with ground-floor trading space, a fitted bar and extraction, plus a three-bedroom apartment above. The building’s traditional brick-and-slate character, large forecourt parking and an extensive rear beer garden make it attractive for continued leisure use, restaurant conversion or a residential-led redevelopment subject to consents.
The ground floor provides an open-plan bar/seating area, cellar/barrel room, fully fitted bar with drinks lines and a kitchen with extraction already installed — reducing immediate fit-out costs for a food-led operator. The generous external hardstanding to the front and the sizable rear garden increase flexibility for outdoor trade, events or expanded parking.
The interior is dated and will require refurbishment to modern standards; conversion to alternative uses (full residential or mixed-use) will need planning consent. The property is large for a village site, so running and maintenance costs should be considered. Its edge-of-Guildford location benefits from good road links, nearby amenities and strong local schools, supporting both trading and residential potential.
Suitable buyers include experienced leisure operators seeking a village site with outdoor space, investors looking for a conversion project, or developers targeting a residential-led scheme (subject to consents). The building’s period character and substantial plot are real assets, but buyers should budget for refurbishment, possible planning fees and ongoing maintenance of an older structure.
