Property details
The Kensington is a detached pub located in a densely populated residential area just a five-minute walk from Derby city centre. Positioned close to the University of Derby campus and a variety of independent businesses, the pub benefits from a diverse customer base of residents, students and visitors. Situated north-west of the city centre, it enjoys excellent road connectivity via the nearby A38, providing direct access to Burton upon Trent, the M1 and the wider East Midlands. Regular bus services operate close to the pub, offering convenient links across Derby, while Derby Railway Station is just two miles away, with direct services to Nottingham, Birmingham and destinations further afield.
When entering the pub, customers are welcomed through a small entrance passage that leads directly into the open-plan trading area, with the bar positioned centrally ahead. To the left is access to the customer toilets, while an attractive open fireplace creates a focal point opposite the bar. Beyond this, the trading space opens into a comfortable seating area, with a pool table located at the far end of the pub. The Kensington benefits from a single-bar operation and a spacious open-plan layout, making it well suited to both social gatherings and community events.
Externally, the pub offers a generously sized beer garden, along with a rear yard featuring a covered smoking shelter.
The private accommodation offers two bedrooms, a dining kitchen, an office, lounge and family bathroom.

Live Entertainment
Trading style
The Kensington operates as a traditional wet-led community pub serving a loyal local customer base within a relaxed and welcoming environment. Currently, the pub offers entertainment such as live music and karaoke with a programme of pub activities; there is plenty of scope to grow the rhythm of the week further through additional events, activities and community engagement initiatives.
The landlords are seeking a resilient, customer-focused licensee with a strong work ethic and a passion for creating a thriving community pub; the ideal licensee will possess strong leadership and people skills. You will be able to structure a good rhythm of the week to grow the business further by utilising your strong marketing skills.
Refurbishment works are planned subject to approval and include external painting, new lighting and signage. Internal decorative works, fixtures & fittings, and improvements to the toilets.
The refurbishment is subject to full Board approval. All designs are draft and indicative only, intended to showcase the potential of the pub. The refurbishment will be refined and personalised once a long-term licensee is secured, incorporating their vision for the look and feel of the business.
