Located on the northern edge of Hitchin, Ickleford is a sizable village with a rich community spirit and all essential amenities just a short distance away. The area has become increasingly attractive to commuters over recent decades thanks to efficient rail services into London Kings Cross, as well as convenient road access via the A1(M). Positioned prominently on Arlesey Road, 'The Cricketers' pub presents an excellent investment opportunity with considerable potential for refurbishment. Although it boasts a large footprint following recent expansions, there are various areas currently undergoing construction that require attention.
On the ground floor, the property features a bar area with characterful elements like a log burner and exposed timber. The existing function room has ample capacity for gatherings and possesses additional bar facilities ready for development. Noteworthy are the under-construction gentlemen's toilets and trade kitchen that will enhance operational efficiency once completed.
The upper floors hold significant promise, with six double bedrooms framing the first level alongside a spacious office or living area featuring Velux rooflights. More impressive is the second floor, where a large loft area can potentially be converted into five separate rooms, allowing for diverse usage whether for accommodation or further leisure spaces.
Externally, there's generous parking available for 21 vehicles and an outdoor garden area that could serve as an appealing social space. This property needs comprehensive refurbishment but offers immense possibilities to create a multifaceted venue in a desirable locale.
