School Lane, Bricket Wood, St. Albans

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.
