Property details
The Russell Arms is an attractive 18th-century coach house once the local for nearby Chequers' serving staff and shares its name with the former owners of the Prime Minister’s country retreat nearby. This is a community-owned pub in the heart of Butlers Cross, an active and vibrant Buckinghamshire village. It has a population of around 850 households with a catchment of 50,000 within a 15-minute drive and is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
It is a detached character property predominantly built of brick and flint. Inside, it is a charming, distinctive pub with some low exposed beams, wooden floors, and tasteful furniture. Arranged with a central bar serving both the front bar area (28 covers) and a rear bar area (16 covers), with additional restaurant seating (28 covers). The kitchen is fully fitted with a pot washing area, a basement cellar, and a separate cold store with a prep room. All are maintained to an excellent standard.
Externally, there is a car park to one side and a patio with a new quality pergola (16 covers) with an extensive and beautifully planted south-facing garden (40 + covers).
The private accommodation consists of a three-bedroom split-level first-floor flat with sitting room, bathroom and kitchen area.

Bought by the Community in 2012, it has been extensively refurbished throughout and is well maintained. It is a popular start, stop-off, or finish for many walkers and cyclists as well as being the village's local and well-known destination pub.
This is a great opportunity to run a community pub. Ideally suited to a lifestyle couple, with the ability to utilise a three-bedroom apartment on-site.
Running a similar venue may be beneficial but not essential. More important is a passion for hospitality, the ability to build on the community spirit, organise events, engage with customers from behind the bar, and extend the food and drinks offering using great locally sourced produce.
This is a fantastic opportunity to create a lifestyle business which is a central hub for village life as well as a drive-to destination pub.
