Property
The Ickleton Lion is a charming detached largely two-storey building with single-storey side extensions, under pitched tiled and slate roof. The ground floor provides a traditional country pub feel with exposed timbers, tiled and wooden flooring, log burners and wood paneling.

There are a number of interconnecting trade areas with a snug centered around a large brick fireplace with access to the central bar servery (8/10 covers). This leads onto a further bar area to the front, as well as to the rear, divided by exposed timbers, with direct access to the trade garden and bar (c 30/35 covers).

To the side is a vaulted dining area with a mix of loose and banquette seating with space for 25/30 covers.

Serving these areas are male & female WC’s, ground floor cellar and separate wine store with direct access to Abbey Street. To the rear is a substantial commercial trade kitchen with extraction, leading onto a storage area and wash up area.

The upper parts comprise a large characterful flat with 4/5 bedrooms. The 1st floor comprises office/single bedroom, 2 double bedrooms, lounge, dining area, domestic kitchen and 3 piece bathroom. The 2nd floor comprise 2 further single bedrooms.

Externally the public house boasts a dedicated shingle car park, as well as a walled grassed south west facing trade garden with ample space for 60/80 covers, as well as pétanque piste, gazebo and patio areas. To the front is a useful storage shed and bin store.
