Property details
Nestled within the heart of Biggleswade, a charming Bedfordshire town, the Wheatsheaf stands as a welcoming presence in a quiet, residential enclave. Just a leisurely 10-minute stroll away lies the bustling town centre, adorned with an array of shops, vibrant bars, cosy cafes, and delightful restaurants. Biggleswade, a quintessential working-class town, exhibits its character through the presence of small industrial factories, town centre retail shops, and an expansive retail park on the town's fringes. Over the past decade, this town has experienced a remarkable transformation, with the emergence of vast new housing estates that have nearly doubled its size. Conveniently situated in close proximity to the A1M and a commuter train line connecting to London, Biggleswade enjoys excellent transport connections.
The Wheatsheaf, a two-story terraced pub, boasts a curb-side entrance and shares its surroundings with properties of a similar ilk, as well as a few newer houses. This cozy establishment operates as a one-bar pub within a compact trading area. Upon stepping through the primary pavement door, patrons are greeted by the petite bar, which takes centre stage and caters to a snug trading area with seating for approximately 30 discerning customers. Both restrooms are conveniently located off the trade area, and the door leads seamlessly to the enchanting rear terrace and garden space.
Outside, guests can relish a spacious covered terrace and a sizable rear garden, complete with children's play equipment. Parking options are available roadside, ensuring hassle-free accessibility.
The private accommodation consists of three bedrooms, a lounge, a kitchen, and a bathroom all in very good condition.

The Wheatsheaf prides itself on being a 100% wet-led pub, offering a diverse selection of standard draught beers and a consistently satisfying range of cask ales. The pub’s character is embodied through the dominance of draught sales, making it a haven for beverage enthusiasts. While the establishment lacks a commercial kitchen, it compensates with well-received summer BBQ events that draw substantial support from its loyal clientele.
This charming establishment is ideally on the lookout for a couple ready to immerse themselves in the local community and become the cherished landlords of this beloved local pub. For the past 35 years, the Wheatsheaf has been under the nurturing care of a remarkable couple who are now gracefully transitioning into a quieter retirement phase. The ideal successors would be a local couple who can seamlessly step into the shoes of the current tenants, continuing to serve the local customers while fostering the pub’s growth and potential for the future.
