In addition, there is a compact traditional style public bar. The upper floor requires refurbishment but offers residential potential. Extensive upgrades were completed in recent years, including a new roof.

To the rear, there are storage facilities.

Outside, there is a mews with development potential and a large yard used as an outside drinking and dining area known as ‘The Village Yard’ where street-food operators are located under licence.
