This detached property benefits from having a large car park, and within an open plan trade area offers both a lounge, and a games room to enable it to appeal to an extensive cross section of customers of all age groups. The trade area is serviced from a single bar servery, hosting cask ales and international beer brands. The space is broken up through the use of different floor levels and alcoves of seating to create separate trading areas. The pub has a very definite games section with a pool table and darts board. The lounge is of sufficient capacity to enable live entertainment to be developed as a theme in this business. The commercial kitchen is conveniently located to the rear of the bar servery, with the cellar and storage areas being in the basement. Overall, there are 50 covers seated across the site. There are a few benches out the front providing a highly visible retail offer and there is a smoking shelter to the left hand side of the pub. An enclosed space down the side, with development, could be an excellent outside space with five picnic benches in place at the moment. The car park has spaces for 20 vehicles.

Regional Manager's Thoughts In addition to a nucleus of regular local customers, the Old Masons Arms is well positioned to attract passing trade with an offering of televised sports viewing and live entertainment. Music, karaoke and discos have all proved popular in the past and the new publican should look to maintain and build on this. There is scope also to develop a small hand held food operation to further enhance the business opportunity. Surrounding Area Oulton is a village based to the South East of Leeds City Centre. The affluent West Yorkshire village is formally part of the City of Leeds, but manages to keep a very separate identity thanks in part to its location within an area of beautiful countryside. The pub benefits from being located on the busy A642 with extensive areas of housing in the immediate vicinity.
