Ox & Plough

The Ox & Plough is a well-established community pub located in Washington, Tyne & Wear. Historically part of County Durham, Washington is the ancestral home of the Washington family, from whom George Washington descended. Situated on a residential community estate and adjacent to a local parade of shops, the Ox & Plough naturally serves as a hub for the surrounding neighbourhood. The pub benefits from excellent accessibility, with frequent local bus services stopping nearby and a shared community car park providing convenient parking for visitors. The surrounding woodland attracts walkers and outdoor enthusiasts, while the absence of another pub within almost a mile presents a strong opportunity to capture footfall from nearby households and passers-by alike.

The pub benefits from two distinct trading areas, offering flexibility and broad appeal. The main bar area features televised live sports, a darts board and a pool table, creating a lively and informal atmosphere. Fixed perimeter seating is complemented by high bar stools and loose tables and chairs, with wooden and tiled flooring adding to the relaxed, traditional pub feel. The lounge area has been tastefully refurbished and centres around a prominent bar, traditional furnishings and a log burner, creating a warm and inviting environment. Wooden floors and exposed brick feature walls further enhance the character of this space. A small, raised, carpeted area accessed by a few steps provides softer seating and leads through French doors to the beer garden.

Externally, a beautifully paved beer garden wraps around three sides of the pub and enjoys attractive views over the surrounding woodland. The availability of a shared community car park further enhances accessibility, supporting the Ox & Plough’s offer as a vibrant and sociable community pub.

The private accommodation is located on the first floor of the pub and comprises: three large bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room and a bathroom.
