Property Description

Description The Top Railway is situated in Shepshed which is a small market town in North-West Leicestershire. Approximately four miles west of Loughborough and close to the M1 motorway, the Top Railway is well-connected to Leicester, Nottingham and Derby. Surrounded by housing it is a true community pub, occupying a substantial detached building on a corner plot and boasting a prominent position on the Charnwood Road. The town of Shepshed has a variety of local shops, cafes, restaurants, bars and pubs, making it a bustling hive of activity for socialising and the residents from the local quaint villages often frequent the area in both the daytime and evening. Pub Layout On entering the Top Railway, you are greeted with the wall length, well-stocked bar servery, which gives easy access to all areas of the pub and on busier nights is often a spot for customers to stop and enjoy a drink and a chat. To the right of the bar you will find the popular pool table and darts board, which are regularly used by the locals and the weekly sports teams.  The opposite side of the pub has a more relaxed feel, with plenty of loose and fixed seating and is balanced with both carpet and wooden floor. Externally, there is a great space with an enclosed beer garden, perfect in the summer months to enjoy al fresco drinking with friends and family. The car park can hold around 10 cars although most locals take advantage of the short walk and fresh air.
