Bulls Head, Dorking

Property Description

The Bulls Head is an impressive, double-fronted property occupying a prominent corner position at the end of a parade of commercial units on Dorking’s secondary high street. Ideally situated adjacent to the main town centre and high street shopping area, it enjoys excellent visibility and footfall. Dorking is a key market town in Surrey, located just 20 miles from London and benefiting from outstanding transport links to and from the capital. With a population of around 17,000, the town is predominantly affluent and known for its scenic surroundings, nestled in Green Belt land and the picturesque Surrey Hills; offering a charming blend of rural character and urban convenience. Thanks to its central location, the Bulls Head is a popular spot for shoppers seeking a relaxing drink and it also benefits from passing trade on the main route used by supporters heading to and from Dorking FC matches. Pub Layout Upon entering the Bulls Head from the main front door off of the High Street, you will find a large one room, open plan layout with an extensive L shaped bar operating across the centre of the pub. To the left you will find a small snug area as well as a beautiful panelled wall and access to the toilets. Back round to the right of the bar you will find a large fireplace with a mixture of mid and high level seating as well as a darts and pool area and access to the external drinking space. Outside you will find a designated patio area to the side of the pub that holds around four benches and is a lovely sun trap in the summer months. The fixtures and fittings at the pub are also in very good condition and the décor is suited to the traditional wet-led pub atmosphere.
