Property details
The Shepherd's Arms is situated on the edge of Horbury, a popular and well-established town within the Wakefield area of West Yorkshire. The town benefits from a strong community spirit, a variety of independent shops and businesses, well-regarded schools and excellent transport links, with easy access to the M1 motorway. Just a few miles from both Wakefield and Ossett, Horbury is home to around 15,000 residents and has a proud industrial heritage. Today, it remains a thriving and well-connected town, making it an excellent location for a community-focused pub business.
The pub offers two distinct trading areas, each with its own character. The main bar comfortably seats around 20 customers and is a popular spot for watching live sport on the big screens. Adjoining this is a dedicated games area, complete with a pool table and darts board, making it a favourite with local teams and regulars. Stone flooring, an open fire and historic photographs celebrating the area's heritage create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The second trading area is primarily used for dining and can accommodate around 60 covers. Split into three sections, this flexible space also features a dedicated stage area, allowing it to easily transform into an entertainment venue for live music and events. A mix of carpeting, tiled flooring and comfortable furnishings gives the pub a relaxed feel and adds to its overall charm. During the warmer months, doors open onto a small seating area at the front of the pub, providing additional space for customers to enjoy. The pub also benefits from a fully equipped commercial catering kitchen, offering excellent support for an expanded food operation.
Externally, The Shepherd's Arms boasts a wealth of outdoor space. To the front is a small seating area, while to the rear is a large enclosed beer garden with a decked area currently used as a smoking solution. This space is currently underutilised and offers fantastic potential for additional seating, family-friendly activities, outdoor events and community gatherings. The pub also benefits from an on-site car park with space for approximately 25 vehicles.
The private accommodation, located on the first floor, comprises four large bedrooms, an office, a family bathroom, an extra-large lounge, and a kitchen.
