Introduction
Description
The Crown is located in the heart of the picturesque village of Stoke by Nayland and was acquired privately in 2003, with the pub initially refurbished and then extended in 2008 to provide eleven luxury en-suite bedrooms.
The Crown comprises a large attractive brick built property with parking for approximately 50 vehicles and an extensive trade patio / garden, with outside seating for approximately 100 persons.
The Crown has an enviable reputation for quality and has exceptional reviews on many forms of digital media.
Situation Stoke-by-Nayland is a small village (682 persons 2011 Census) and civil parish located in Suffolk, close to the Essex border. The Crown is positioned in the centre of the village on Park Street and is surrounded by either open countryside or residential dwellings. Stoke-by-Nayland is ideally located approximately 20 minutes drive from Colchester and Ipswich (10 miles) and 35 miles and 70 miles to Stansted Airport and London respectively.
Internally, the ground floor provides the entrance, ladies’ and gentlemen’s WCs and disabled WC, single bar servery with three dining areas and a further three relaxed informal seating areas. There are a total of 127 covers within the public house. Also at ground floor level is a large kitchen with separate washing up area and staff rooms. The cellar is located at basement level and is extensive. The public house is modern in style but benefits from a number of traditional features including exposed brickwork, flagstone flooring, oak beams running throughout and open wood-burning fire place. The main public house building measures approximately 3,900 sq ft (362 sq m). The hotel which is independent from the pub and has its own entrance and reception, provides 11 letting bedrooms (8 on ground and 3 at first floor) which are individually designed and rated (Standard, Superior, Deluxe and Executive). Each bedroom is equipped with a king or super king sized bed, hairdryer, iron and ironing board, tea/ coffee making facilities, safe, mini bar, Television and DVD player.
