The Silkstone is a fantastic opportunity following on from a huge investment of £240,000 in late 2024. The pub is a large 1960's style detached property located in a residential area four miles south-east of Sheffield town centre. It is very much a wet-led community pub and is positioned on a busy road with great transport links to and from the city. As well as lots of housing, this suburban area has many amenities including a supermarket, pharmacy, petrol station, school and a parade of shops all within minutes of the pub. Sheffield has a population of 556,500 at the 2021 census, making it the second largest city in the Yorkshire and Humber region. Sheffield is linked into the national motorway network via the M1 and M18 motorways. The M1 skirts the north-east of the city, linking Sheffield with London to the south and Leeds to the north; the M18 branches from the M1 close to Sheffield, linking the city with Doncaster and the Humber ports.Pub LayoutThe Silkstone is a single room operation with an open-plan layout with two distinct trading areas around a central bar servery.
