There is a second entrance with a ramp for easier accessibility and this leads into the restaurant area which is otherwise linked to the public bar.

There is one set of ladies’, gentlemens’ and accessible toilets.

Back of house, there is a reasonable sized kitchen and food preparation area with mainly stainless steel equipment. Access to the cellar is gained from the rear yard and this is at ground floor level.

The public house is decorated in a rustic style with some exposed brickwork areas and otherwise painted walls and ceilings.

First Floor
The first floor comprises residential accommodation. The living space comprises a domestic kitchen, living room, two double bedrooms, former bedroom providing a store and office, shower room and separate WC.

The Business
The Brickmakers is a village pub with a strong and loyal local following. The reputation for good food and well-kept beers draws custom from the wider Meon Valley area too, all combining to create a mature and profitable business.

The business is operated by a long standing couple as tenants of a separate freehold owner.

Both parties are keen to explore a sale and as a consequence we are able to offer the freehold interest combined with the operational business.
