Buyer sought for North Yorkshire pub and B&B
A village pub, restaurant and B&B in Weaverthorpe near Malton, is on the market at a freehold asking price of £550,000.
The Star Inn was originally built in the early 1800s and the whole building has been extensively refurbished.
As well as the five en suite letting rooms, there is a bar and restaurant and a two-bedroom owner’s accommodation. Externally there is a car park, beer garden and a double garage which has planning consent for conversion into further letting accommodation.
The Yorkshire Wolds village of Weaverthorpe is close to many Yorkshire tourist attractions, as well as the east coast seaside resorts of Scarborough, Bridlington and Filey.
Current owners Julien and Rachel Martel explained they had decided to sell the business in order to pursue other commercial interests. They said: “We were attracted to Weaverthorpe for its beauty and the great clientele from the surrounding area.
“We believe we have renovated the pub and business to a high standard and it is appreciated by all that visit. We are sorry to be leaving but believe we are handing over a superb business.”
The premises have been brought to the market by specialist business property adviser Christie & Co.
Matthew Hendry, Business Agent at Christie & Co, who is handling the sale, said: “I can honestly say that The Star Inn is one of the most attractive pubs with rooms that I have seen.
“Mr and Mrs Martel have invested heavily to make the pub stand out from the rest, and it does. Anyone who visits is likely to fall in love with it straight away and there is scope to increase trade by extending the current opening hours.”
