Leisure property specialist Sidney Phillips has sold a substantial and closed public house in Essex for continued use.
The Red Lion is a prominent link-detached public house situated in the heart of St. Osyth, near Colchester. The village acts as a hub to the surrounding villages due to its quaint yet busy high street which houses a range of local and boutique businesses. The village is popular during the summer months for day trippers, especially from London seeking to enjoy the surrounding countryside, St. Osyth beach and attractions at Clacton-on Sea.
The property boasts a bar, games room, two dining rooms, two-bedroom accommodation, four letting bedrooms, trade garden, large car park and outbuilding workshops.
The property has until recently been operated by third party tenants, however, has now been purchased by a local entrepreneur, familiar with the industry, who will be undertaking a refurbishment programme prior to reopening the pub.
The Red Lion was sold off an asking price of £395,000.
