TheBlack Horse sits in a lively and well-established part of the city close to the main centre. The surrounding area combines characterful period buildings, independent shops, and residential streets, creating a busy yet attractive urban setting. Chelmsford offers excellent transport connections, with the mainline railway station less than a mile away, providing regular fast services to London Liverpool Street in around 35 minutes. The pub also benefits from good road access via the nearby A12 and A130, linking to London, Colchester, and the wider Essex region. Local bus routes and park-and-ride facilities further enhance connectivity, making the location easily accessible for both residents and visitors from across the South East.

This well-presented terraced high street pub benefits from a practical layout designed to give a variety of both indoor and outdoor seating. On entry, customers are welcomed by seating to either side of the doorway, with additional high stool seating positioned near the bar. The main bar area offers further seating and convenient access to the ladies’ toilets, while a pool table positioned beyond the bar adds to the entertainment offer. The gents’ toilets are located on the left-hand side, and the kitchen is easily accessed directly to the rear of the bar, supporting efficient service.

A passage leads through to the rear, opening into an impressive courtyard trading space. This area is thoughtfully arranged with two levels of decked seating, multiple covered sections, and additional open seating, providing flexibility in all weather conditions. A built-in outdoor bar and cooking area further enhance the potential for events, private functions, and seasonal trade.

The private accommodation consists of 2/3 bedrooms, a lounge, and a bathroom.
