Village inn launches to market for £60,000

A village inn located in the village of Tockwith, North Yorkshire, has been brought to market with a price tag of £60,000.

The Spotted Ox is currently wet led, provides up to 80 covers and comprises an open plan bar and restaurant, in addition to the Forge function room, which is situated in a separate detached building with access to a beer garden.

Additionally, the pub also includes owner accommodation on the first floor, which features three bedrooms, a living room, dining room and kitchen.

The Spotted Ox, which is located three miles from York city centre, has been under the ownership of Sheila and Ian Robinson for the past 14 years. The current owners said they are selling The Spotted Ox in order to travel.

Christie & Co, the specialist business property adviser, has launched the property to market.

Sheila and Ian Robinson said: “We have enjoyed our time running the pub and will really miss our customers, but we feel the time has come for us to sell so we can fulfil our plans to travel. We chose Christie & Co due to Matthew Hendry’s enthusiasm for the pub and the prospect of helping us to sell our business.”

Matthew Hendry, business agent at Christie & Co who is handling the sale, added: “The Spotted Ox is set in the lovely village of Tockwith on the outskirts of York, ideally suited for an owner operator or team operation to acquire a successful pub restaurant.

“The pub presents huge potential to increase revenue with increased use of the Forge function building and the introduction of new, creative ideas.”
