On the first floor, the property includes a staff room, office, walk-in fridge and dry storage facilities, alongside well-proportioned private accommodation, comprising three double bedrooms, a lounge, kitchen and bathroom.

The Wheatsheaf is available immediately, with flexible agreement options available to include a traditional tenancy or a partnership agreement. For the right applicants, Shepherd Neame may also consider a tenancy at will or one-year agreement, with flexible terms and ingoing costs.

This is an excellent opportunity for a proven operator to take on a well-located, characterful town-centre site and build a compelling food and drink offer that can stand out in Farnham’s busy local marketplace.
