To the Manor born

Anyone looking for an investment property that will let the train take the strain should head down to Old Malden in Surrey and check out the Manor – a detached freehold pub that’s just 30 minutes from Waterloo via next door Malden Manor station.

“The Manor is a very attractive, two-storey period property near Kingston-upon-Thames ” says James Grimes of licensed leisure specialists AG&G.

“It’s in a mixed retail and residential area and comes with a car park and trade garden, so it’s a good-sized site with plenty of scope for alternative uses.”

The landmark pub has two interlinked trade areas and customer WCs on the ground floor, with a basement beer cellar and storage. There is a trade kitchen and five-bed residential accommodation on the first floor, while outside offers a rear trade garden and parking for 10 cars. The total site area is around 1,180 square metres (12,705 square metres).

Licensing hours are 10am to 11.30pm Sunday to Wednesday and until 12 midnight Thursday to Saturday. The freehold is for sale with vacant possession off a guide price of £625,000.
