Property Description

The Land of Liberty Peace & Plenty remains a fantastic name for a Public House and pays tribute to the Chartist land settlement at Heronsgate until 1851.
A two storey Leasehold property constructed of brick (rendered) under a tiled, pitched roof. This detached property within large grounds has been well maintained over the years and has an enormous charm and character to it.
The Ground floor is dedicated to the Public House operation and is in immaculate decorative order, it comprises Vestibule Entrance, Large L-Shaped Public Lounge Bar for circa 30 covers with Exposed Beams and an Open Fireplace which all adds to the character and feel. Loose and fixed furnishings compliment the Pub style as do the many privately owned artefacts and "Breweriana" which may be available by way of separate purchase. The Servery Bar is very functional and has all the aspects of a Pub Bar. Ladies and Gents Cloakrooms are found to the rear.
Bottle Store and Cellar are also found on the Ground floor as are many ancillary areas of practical use and storage.
The First Floor is given over to living accommodation comprising Lounge, Kitchen, Bathroom and 2 large Bedrooms and an Office/Bedroom.

There is an extensive Public Beer Garden with Picnic Tables, Lamp posts, mature Hop and Wisteria plants as well as grassed lawn area.
The Pavilion is a purpose built wooden structure offering seating for circa 30 under a roof with open sides, this is a delightful area which remains external, but under cover.

The Business

CAMRA Pub of the year 7 years in a row.
This business has focussed on many aspects of Hospitality and Leisure over the years, but most recently it has been a CAMRA recognised real ale pub for the discerning fans. It is lovingly known as a Beer Drinkers Pub and has shied away from a food menu and letting accommodation in the pursuance of this aim. That said, the potential for a Food led business is huge and there would be support for a quality provision locally. The living accommodation to the First Floor could lend itself to letting rooms or Air B&B subject to approval.
This business has struggled through Covid times valiantly and has the support of its customer base, however now the current custodians feel it is time for retirement and a new breath of life is welcomed into this adorable venue.
