Grafton Hotel

The Grafton Hotel is a detached property nestled among the Newland Avenue area of the city, just ¾ of a mile from the city centre. Newland Avenue is a popular, vibrant area close to Hull University, which is home to numerous bars and restaurants frequented by the student population. The pub itself is located on Grafton Street, a residential area consisting of terraced housing with a number of these let to university students. This iconic pub is famous for its links with the Housemartins and the Beautiful South, as frontman Paul Heaton lived locally and the Grafton was a favourite watering hole for both bands, providing inspiration for some of their lyrics. Subject to board approval and upon signing a 5-year agreement, the landlords will be investing in this great pub with plans for both internal and external investment. This will really make Grafton the go-to pub in the area.

The trading area is divided into a traditional two-room layout, with both rooms served by a central bar. The main bar area is accessed from the car park and features a mixture of fixed and loose seating, TVs, and a pool table. The second bar area also features a mix of fixed and loose seating, TVs (including a large screen projector), and darts oche, and is regularly used as a function room as it has its own bar and toilets. This room is ideal for meetings, parties, christenings, and hosting live entertainment.

Outside the pub, there is a drinking terrace to the front of the building with bench seating and overhead lighting. To the rear of the property, there is an enclosed beer garden with bench seating and a timber gazebo, and to the side of the pub is a good-sized car park with space for up to 15 cars.

The private accommodation consists of a lounge, kitchen, bathroom, and three good-sized bedrooms.
