Location
Business
The Lapstone is located Horton Heath, a semi-rural village in Eastleigh, Hampshire which lies approximately three miles to the south east of Eastleigh town centre. The civil parish incorporates the neighbouring village of Fair Oak and there is little definitive boundary between the two.
We have little trading information, but we are of the opinion the premises offers a genuine opportunity for an enterprising owner operator to create a successful business.
The public house is located on Botley Road (B3354) in a semi-rural area, with affluent residential areas close by.
The Lapstone is located in the countryside and so restrictive local planning policies apply. The property currently has an ‘A4 public house’ use class consent.
Description
Planning
The site extends to 0.200 hectares (0.494 acres), is roughly rectangular in shape with a site that slopes up from front to rear.
The site is not in a flood zone (according to the EA Flood Map), and the pub is not a listed building. There is no relevant planning history relating to the site. The site is within a local gap.
The property has traditional brick and block elevations, pitched slate roof and a mixture of UPVC and wooden framed fenestration.
The Development plan consists of the saved policies of the Eastleigh Borough Council Local Plan Review 2001 – 2011.
The property is prominently located on a busy road in the semi-rural location of Horton Heath. It is understood to have originally been two cottages built in the mid-18th Century and it has been a hostelry for over 100 years, having previous been known as the Rising Sun.
The adopted Local Plan seeks to retain Community Facilities, the definition of which includes public houses. Saved Policy 185.IN states that proposals which would result in the removal or loss of a community facility will not be permitted except in cases where alternative provision is available or the facility can be shown to be surplus to local needs.
Internally there is one main trading area which is split level and provides seating for approximately 50 persons. There is a mixture of stone and wooden flooring and the trading area has been decorated in a contemporary style. To the rear of the single bar servery, the back of house area includes a small kitchen and beer cellar. The first floor living accommodation consists of three bedrooms, a living room and bathroom.
Tenure The property is available freehold with vacant possession.
Fixtures and Fittings Contents at site on completion are included at no extra cost.
Externally there is large beer garden and children’s play area and a car park for approximately 40 vehicles.
