North Yorkshire country pub sold

A family-run country pub near Knaresborough has been sold off an asking price of £595,000 for the freehold interest.

The Guy Fawkes Arms, in Scotton, was sold to Adam and Danielle Vear. The previous owners of the premises, Martin and Louise Peachey and Peter and Lisa Walker, spent significant time in the catering industry. They said they had worked to develop the pub’s reputation for excellent food and drink.

Martin Peachey said: “We have really enjoyed serving our customers over the past few years and expect the business to continue to flourish in the hands of Adam and Danielle.

“We would like to thank Christie & Co for their assistance in selling the pub for us.”

David Lee, Regional Director – North East at Christie & Co handled the sale. He said: “The sale of The Guy Fawkes is another example of the buoyant freehold pub market in North Yorkshire. Demand heavily outweighs supply and I am pleased to report that, as we head towards the half year stage of 2019, we are set for another record year of pub sales in 2019.

“This follows 2018 which was a significantly busier year for sales than 2017.”
