Wild Man Ipswich

Property Description

Transformational investment A major refurbishment will truly transform the Wild Man. This will include a complete redecoration and refurbishment to the indoor trading spaces with new carpets, upholstery, fixtures and fittings. The pub will be rustic, comfortable and cosy - a classic country pub. We will add new leather seating, statement wallpaper, slate floor tiles and panelling to give the site a completely new look. Externally, there will be a full redecoration and new signage scheme which nods to the pub’s heritage and compliments the other listed buildings in the village. Tranquil location The pub itself is located in Sproughton, a picturesque village just to the west of Ipswich in Suffolk. The village has a listed church and a restored water mill which attracts visitors to the area. The garden backs onto the beautiful countryside that neighbours the pub. The local demographics consist of a high percentage of high affluence. Within a 20-minute walk time, there is only one other pub as a competitor. Potential: An excellent range of premium food and drinks, a complete refurbishment and a stunning setting will separate the site from anything else in the area and beyond. The Wild Man will give people a reason to stay local rather than going into town. The garden will be a key trade driver in the warmer months. The pub will boast some 150 covers internally and externally. This is a pub business with great potential. All we’re looking for is the right operator to take it on….
