The flexibility of the accommodation and lease terms has supported the growth of many successful businesses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, the time was right to sell the property, and we are delighted to have sold it to Burbury Investments. This is our second disposal to the buyer, with their offer accepted based on the ease and efficiency of the previous transaction.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fairground
