The Old Fox presents itself to the astute buyer as an outstanding opportunity to enter the hospitality market with its current status as a Public House. Needing complete refurbishment the property is Grade Two listed and could one day be a dream family home of substantial proportions with excellent surroundings, subject to changing the current planning status. Sitting upon approximately one acre of land with outbuildings, The Old Fox was once a quaint 17th-century country pub with abundant retained period features including a huge garden set in the pleasant rural surroundings of Bricket Wood Common. The Pub, however, has not been operating for, we believe, around 8 years. This beautiful building measures approximately just over 2,000 sq ft and the public-facing space comprises three good-sized reception areas, a bar, kitchen, store, and ladies & gents WC's, all on the ground floor. On the first floor is a self-contained three-bedroom maisonette with a living room, kitchen, a family bathroom and a separate shower room. Some initial extension groundwork has already been implemented under a previous planning permission. The Old Fox is situated off a quiet country lane close to the popular village of Bricket Wood, in a Conservation Area and is blessed with excellent nearby road links for Watford, St Albans, M1 and M25. This site will appeal to owners/occupiers, investors and developers alike, where the immense development potential for commercial or potentially residential purposes is aplenty, subject to planning. A full planning history, reference 5/2023/2121 can be found on the St Albans Planning Portal

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on March 4, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on March 4, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
