Property details
The Martello is located in a densely populated area of Langney, approximately 1.5 miles from Eastbourne Town Centre. The pub is surrounded by residential estates on the busy through-road of Langney Rise with several amenities such as recreational grounds, schools, churches, local businesses, and a retail park within one mile of the pub (also having the ever-popular sea-front within two miles). The Martello is a large, detached, fairly unopposed, drinks-focused community pub with potential for the right tenant(s) to embrace further income streams in the heart of the community.
The trade accommodation has recently benefited from a full internal decoration and is split between two key areas with a central bar serving both sides, and it is very light and open. To the left-hand side of the pub is a sports bar with its own access and toilets, housing a darts area, pool table, and big screen sports. To the right, there is a large open-plan lounge bar also with its own entrance and toilets, used more for lounge drinking and dining. There is a small catering kitchen located to the rear of the lounge bar.
Externally there is a beer garden made up of paved patio area and a garden housing a number of picnic benches, along with a car park with space for approximately 15 vehicles.
The private accommodation comprises three large bedrooms, a kitchen, a lounge, and a bathroom, and is all in good condition

Trading style
The Martello currently trades as a drinks focused community pub, however, previous tenants have had success with well fitted kitchen, providing offers such as pizzas, burgers, Sunday roasts and children’s meals. A rhythm of the week enhances the midweek trade with popular live entertainment including drag acts, games nights, quizzes and live sports.
The landlords are seeking a dynamic, community-focused licensee(s) who will grow the business and drive beer volumes here. Additionally, there is scope to develop and reintroduce a good food offer and premiumise the retail offer, introducing new draught products which will, in turn, help to encourage new and returning customers.
