Property details
The Battle of Trafalgar is situated in a popular residential area on a busy main road into Portslade. A wet-led community pub on a corner plot, the Battle of Trafalgar is full of history dating back on maps as far as 1873, and is a much-loved community gem. Portslade is a western suburb in the city of Brighton and Hove, dating back to the 16th century. With the northern end of the village situated on the edge of the South Downs and the southern part of the village by the sea, Portslade has plenty of passing footfall all year round and benefits from strong road and bus links as well as a railway station.
This is a spacious, corner-plot pub featuring two distinct rooms divided by the main bar servery. One side offers a lively sports area with a darts board and pool table, while the other provides a large, open space ideal for relaxed drinking and socialising. Behind the bar is a well-equipped kitchen providing ample space for preparing meals and light snacks.
To the rear, a generous beer garden with sheltered seating offers a comfortable setting for customers all year round.
The private accommodation consists of a lounge, kitchen, bathroom, three double bedrooms, and use of the domestic kitchen downstairs.
