Fox

The Fox is a detached pub, prominently positioned on a crossroads at the top of Hexham’s Theatre District. Surrounded by residential housing and close to a school, it benefits from strong passing traffic and consistent daily footfall. Hexham is a historic and thriving market town on the south bank of the River Tyne, dominated by the iconic Hexham Abbey at the heart of the marketplace. Recent investment in the town centre and high street has further enhanced its appeal, creating an excellent environment for a well-run, community-focused pub. The town is well connected, with regular bus and rail services to Newcastle and surrounding areas, and easily accessible by car via the A69.

The pub operates as a single, L-shaped trading area, with a prominent bar running along the back wall and finished with traditional dark features. To the front of the bar is a small booth seating area, complemented by a shelf section with high stools that adds to the pub’s traditional character. A comfortable mix of bench seating, low-level tables and chairs with soft furnishings is set across a combination of wooden and carpeted floors. The main trading room is further enhanced by a real fire, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere, particularly during the winter months. Large front windows allow plenty of natural light to flow into what is otherwise a richly dark interior. The pool table is positioned next to the bar within a designated area that also caters for darts and live entertainment. While the pub shows Sky Sports and TNT, it is best known for its live music offering, with a strong focus on rock and Northern Soul events.

The private accommodation, located on the first floor, consists of three bedrooms, a lounge kitchen and a bathroom.
