Property details
The Swan is situated in the centre of Braintree right on the Market Square, so is in a very prominent position. Braintree itself is a market town with a population of 42,000 and the demographics especially in the local villages are good. Braintree has the nearby massive freeport shopping area and is also on the A120 which links directly to Stansted Airport, just 30 minutes away. There is a multiplex cinema, bowling alley, and various restaurants and shops within the freeport. Braintree has two main market areas that link throughout the town, which are run twice weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays. They are based outside the town hall in Market Square and also run along Bank Street and the High Street. The High Street is mainly a pedestrianised area, which allows buses only to commute through the town.
The Swan has a large central bar with seating areas all around separate areas behind the main bar which are suited for dining guests and a pool table located at the front. The commercial catering kitchen which was refurbished roughly 5 years ago, is fully compliant.
There is a large patio courtyard garden to the rear with access to the dry store and outbuilding which is currently used for storage and there is a small car park for approximately four vehicles.
The private accommodation consists of three double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, a large lounge, and large office space. There is also a separate private entrance to the private quarters. The private quarters are in reasonable condition but in need of some decoration.

Trading style
The pub currently trades as drinks-led only, which has proven to be successful at this site for the local community. There is entertainment at weekends, with the pub being more locals-led throughout the week.
The landlords are looking for an operator that can maximize the potential here and potentially introduce a good food offer as well as drive the wet business to the next level. The site is currently for sale so the deal available will reflect this.
