Property details
The Maltings is a detached property featuring a single-bar layout, soon to benefit from an attractive internal refurbishment and upgrade, further enhancing its welcoming atmosphere. The exterior was refreshed approximately two years ago and remains in excellent condition. Situated just off the vibrant town centre of the historic market town of Ware, the pub enjoys a desirable location surrounded by an affluent local demographic. With a population of nearly 20,000, Ware provides a strong potential customer base, supported by visitors from the surrounding villages and neighbouring towns. The town benefits from excellent transport connections, with Ware railway station offering regular services towards London Liverpool Street via Tottenham Hale. The nearby A10 provides convenient road access to Hertford, Broxbourne, Cambridge and London, while the M25 is also within easy reach. These connections make The Maltings easily accessible to both residents and visitors from the wider area.
The pub features a spacious open-plan layout with a distinctive L-shaped bar, creating a welcoming and sociable atmosphere. The traditional interior offers a comfortable setting, with space for pub games, including a dedicated area for darts.
Outside, picnic tables provide an inviting spot to relax and enjoy the surroundings during the warmer months. Plans are also in place for an internal refurbishment, which will enhance the overall appearance and comfort of the pub, introducing a fresh, modern feel while retaining its traditional character and charm.
The private accommodation consists of two bedrooms, a lounge, a kitchen, and a bathroom.

The Maltings is a well-established, wet-led community pub with a strong following for its cask ales, lagers and live sports. There is excellent potential to build on this established offering by introducing a broader drinks selection, including premium whiskies, rums and gins, alongside an improved wine range that reflects the preferences of the local market. Although the pub does not have a commercial kitchen, there is an opportunity to introduce a simple back-bar food offering, such as grazing boards, sharing platters and traditional bar snacks. This would complement the existing drinks selection, appeal to a wider customer base and encourage guests to spend more time enjoying the welcoming atmosphere.
The landlords are looking for a licensee that will focus on all community activities, driving events and reasons to visit. Real ale could be a strong focus alongside sports and entertainment. This could be an opportunity for a new starter in the industry with a strong focus on trade building, marketing, and promoting events in a strong demographic.
The landlords are in the process of working up a redevelopment for the pub, with a view to taking it back to being a good quality pub with food, in line with the strong demand in the local area.
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.
