The main entrance from the road frontage, gives access to the impressive lobby, which then leads to the two main trading areas. To the left is the main Bar Area. This is an L-shaped room with boarded floor; timber bar servery; a mix of panelled and exposed brick and stone walls; a brick built fireplace and ceiling beams. To the right is the smaller room, which many may see as a Restaurant. This room has exposed stone or brick to three sides but a bank of windows, and doors out to the patio, create a bright and airy feel. Serving this, and lying towards the front, is a well proportioned trade kitchen with altro flooring and overhead stainless steel extraction. Adjacent to the rear courtyard is a suite of offices, which are occupied by the Freeholder. Within this area is a very stylish First Floor Conference/Function room with exposed timbered eaves and a capacity of around 50. Subject to agreement, the successful applicant has the option of 'sharing' use of this facility. The pub's customer toilets are essentially beneath this facility.

ABOUT THE PROPERTY

Believed to be the oldest pub in Northampton, the 16th Century Old Black Lion is a roadside property of predominantly two storey stone built construction. The building extends to the rear and splits either side of a delightful courtyard with seating and potentially useful outbuildings. The historic Old Black Lion lies on the western edge of Northampton town centre, close to the junction of Mare Fair and St Andrews Road. Lying immediately adjacent to the Grade I listed St Peter's Church, and around 100 yards from the town's Railway Station, this is a vibrant mixed-use area including lots of nearby residential properties and the Vue cinema complex. The heart of the town centre including Market Square and the retail core are just a short walk away.
