Detached house for sale in School Lane, Bricket Wood, St. Albans AL2

The Old Fox presents itself to the astute buyer as an outstanding opportunity to enter the hospitality market with its current status as a Public House. Needing complete refurbishment the property is Grade Two listed and could one day be a dream family home of substantial proportions with excellent surroundings, subject to changing the current planning status. Sitting upon approximately one acre of land with outbuildings, The Old Fox was once a quaint 17th-century country pub with abundant retained period features including a huge garden set in the pleasant rural surroundings of Bricket Wood Common. The Pub, however, has not been operating for, we believe, around 8 years. This beautiful building measures approximately just over 2,000 sq ft and the public-facing space comprises three good-sized reception areas, a bar, kitchen, store, and ladies & gents WC's, all on the ground floor. On the first floor is a self-contained three-bedroom maisonette with a living room, kitchen, a family bathroom and a separate shower room. Some initial extension groundwork has already been implemented under a previous planning permission. The Old Fox is situated off a quiet country lane close to the popular village of Bricket Wood, in a Conservation Area and is blessed with excellent nearby road links for Watford, St Albans, M1 and M25. This site will appeal to owners/occupiers, investors and developers alike, where the immense development potential for commercial or potentially residential purposes is aplenty, subject to planning.
