Green Man

Located in the village of Great Wymondley, between the affluent Hertfordshire towns of Hitchin and Baldock, The Green Man is the only pub in the village and offers an excellent opportunity for a new licensee to build on its well-established local trade. The pub also benefits from good road and transport links, with the A1(M) within easy reach, providing convenient access towards London, Stevenage, Letchworth and further afield. Hitchin railway station is also nearby, providing regular services to London and Cambridge. The pub is an attractive detached, stone-built property with ample car parking and a large terrace and beer garden. The property is arranged over two floors, with private accommodation upstairs, whilst downstairs comprises a small public bar, a larger lounge and dining area, toilets and a well-equipped commercial kitchen. The pub has been in the hands of the same tenant for the past 30 years, who have now decided it is time to retire. This presents an opportunity for a new licensee to take on a well-established village pub and put their own stamp on the business.

On entering through the main front entrance, there is a choice of two doors. To the right is the public bar, which has a small bar servery and access to the gents’ toilets. The bar can accommodate approximately 30 customers and is predominantly used for drinking and showing live sports on TV, providing a more informal area for regulars and sports fans. To the left is the larger lounge and dining area, which benefits from a good-sized bar servery, a choice of draught beers and a back bar displaying a selection of wines and spirits. This area is currently used for serving the pub’s traditional food offer, as well as providing a quieter and more relaxed space for customers to enjoy a drink. The lounge can accommodate approximately 60 covers and also provides access through a side door to the terrace and garden.

Externally, the pub benefits from a large terrace and well-kept beer garden to the side of the building, accessed directly from the lounge and dining area. The garden is well fenced, providing a safe environment for families, and also includes a small children’s play area with a climbing tree. There is currently no covered external seating area, providing an opportunity for an incoming licensee to consider introducing covered or sheltered seating, helping to make better use of the garden throughout the year and further develop the outdoor offer.

The private accommodation consists of two bedrooms, a lounge, and a bathroom, all in excellent condition. The commercial kitchen downstairs is also used for private cooking.
