Property details
The Brown Jack is a substantial, well-maintained, detached village pub occupying a highly prominent roadside position in the popular and well-populated suburb of Wroughton, just outside Swindon. Situated on the busy A4361, the pub benefits from strong passing trade, excellent visibility and easy access to the national motorway network via M4 Junctions 15 and 16. The surrounding area is affluent and semi-rural, providing an ideal customer base for a well-run community-led business.
This landmark two-storey property offers excellent internal and external trading space, presenting an outstanding opportunity for experienced operators to build on an already successful and well-established business.
Customers enter directly from Priors Hill into a welcoming and deceptively spacious L-shaped public bar. The bar features quality hard flooring throughout, a dartboard area, a pool table, and multiple large wall-mounted TVs showing live sport. A well-balanced mix of fixed and loose upholstered seating caters comfortably for both casual drinkers and larger groups. A prominent, fully fitted bar servery serves the main trading area, which flows naturally through to a versatile function room, currently used for dining and private events. This space benefits from its own separate entrance and direct access to the garden, making it ideal for parties, celebrations and community gatherings. The ground floor also includes a fully fitted and equipped catering kitchen with extraction, providing ample workspace to deliver a strong home-cooked food offer.
Externally, the pub boasts a car park for 25+ vehicles, an enclosed and well-maintained children’s play area, and an attractive patio garden with seating and a dedicated smoking solution. These features significantly enhance the pub’s family appeal and destination credentials.
The private accommodation includes a comfortable three-bedroom flat, comprising a living room and private bathroom—ideal for owner-operators.
