Spring clean

Norwich-based agents Guy Simmonds (Anglia) had a "spring clean", with pubs selling quickly in March. The leasehold of the White Horse freehouse in the popular tourist town of Framlingham, Suffolk, was sold by the agents on behalf of Barry Edwards to new owners Stephen and Timothy Blake, trading as Genbir Ltd. The deceptively large property dates back in part some 400 years and stands on a good sized plot, not far from the renowned Framlingham College. The town is also much frequented due to it's famous castle with 13 towers. Trading areas comprise of a main bar with exposed timbers and studwork divided into three areas, plus a games room. The business was sold off the asking price of £69,000 leasehold. A freehold property, the Cock Tavern at Cantley, about 10 miles from Norwich, was sold on behalf of retiring owners Ian and Liz Johnson to experienced publicans Mike and Susan Enright. Star guest Due to the owner retiring after 16 successful years, the Ellasley Guest House in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, has come onto the market. It comprises 11 letting bedrooms, and a residents' dining room, which seats up to 20. Christie & Co seeks £295,000 for the freehold interest.
