Hunt for buyer for country pub in North Yorkshire

A North Yorkshire village pub has been placed on the market for £275,000.

The Sundial Inn, in Low Bentham, features an open plan bar, a separate dining area and a beer garden. The premises also benefit from two-bedroom owner’s accommodation.

The pub is between the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Yorkshire Dales National Park, both of which draw thousands of tourists to the area every year. There are also several caravan and lodge parks in the area, which help boost custom.

Current owner, Sean Chew explained he had decided to sell the pub to pursue other opportunities overseas. He said: “It has been a pleasure to be landlord of a great pub in such a beautiful location over the last three years. We have enjoyed the friendliness and support of the local community and will depart with very fond memories.”

The business has been brought to the market by specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co.

Sam Ashton, Business Agent at Christie & Co is handling the sale. He said: “The current operator has made a difficult decision to depart, however new prospective operators have the opportunity to build on the established success of the business, enhance the customer base or further develop the restaurant.

“The freehold could be purchased with vacant possession as an investment purchase, by creating a new lease with new tenant landlords.”
