With outdoor hospitality returning from tomorrow, pub gardens are set to fill with revellers keen to get a taste of normality, or more so than we have been used to the last few months at least.

And by May 17 we will be allowed to enjoy a drink inside pubs, truly a great British pastime.

Many of us will be keen to get back to our ‘village watering holes’, however there may be a few among us keen to ditch the day job and run a pub of their own.

Here we take a look inside the Rickmansworth pub available for rent of those who wish, or simply just fantasise, about joining the world of publicans.

The Old Shepherd is a detached 18th century, two-storey cottage style property (with later additions) set on a large plot close to a generally affluent, high-value residential area.

The pub offers extensive trading areas in a linear format split into two rooms with a single inter-connecting servery, it is traditional in style and retains many period features.

The Old Shepherd has a large south-facing beer garden with a large common to the front of the property providing an attractive almost semi-rural position.

Car parking to the front of the premises and Chorleywood train station is just 500 yards away.

Access to the private accommodation is via an external and internal entrance and comprises of two bedrooms, lounge, kitchen and bathroom.

This pub is a ‘traditional village local’ drawing trade from nearby residents and common and dog walkers.

It could become a top destination food opportunity for the right operator.

There is an active local community with many groups and societies, including walking and cycling groups.

The landlords are looking for people with a huge passion for great food, excellent service standards and customer care.
