The Business
Our clients have owned and operated The Milbury’s since 2006 and now wish to sell their freehold interest in order to retire. The business is popular with cyclists, walkers and destination diners. The business operates as a traditional British Country pub. The business often holds events for enthusiasts such as car clubs and motor bike rallies.
We are of the opinion that The Milbury’s would suit a ‘hands on’ operator or managed style alike. The business would suit a range of concepts to suit a new owner, who could also incorporate letting five bedrooms into the owner's accommodation area.
