Village pub in Cumbria sold

Village pub in Cumbria sold

The Belted Will Inn, a destination food-led pub with letting accommodation situated in the village of Hallbankgate in Cumbria, has been sold through licensed property specialist Sidney Phillips.

The Belted Will is located in a quaint village, ideally positioned between Hadrian’s Wall and The North Pennines, both of which attract many visitors all year round, and benefit from being within easy reach of the Lake District National Park and the historic city of Carlisle.

The property features two restaurant areas, a bar, five en suite letting bedrooms and a two-bedroom owners’ accommodation. Additionally, the property benefits from rear garden with children’s play area and sheltered seating area to the front of the premises.

Dean McVay, Regional Valuations Manager for the North West handled the sale and commented: “The Belted Will Inn represented a wonderful opportunity to acquire a successful and well-established business in an area of high tourism. The pub previously had a good reputation and is known for its food offering and comfortable accommodation, both of which are a real hit with walkers. I have no doubt that the new owners will continue to grow the business for many years to come and look forward to seeing the fruits of their exciting plans.”

Sidney Phillips sold the Belted Will Inn off a freehold asking price of £395,000.
