Redmire’s only pub, The Bolton Arms, has come to market through Christie & Co with an asking price of £725k.
Serving the local community unopposed for over a decade, this traditional country inn comprises a bar, restaurant and five bedrooms with onsite parking. It also features a south-facing beer garden and open marquee with sweeping views over the dales.
The property is situated on Hargill Lane in Redmire. The picturesque village sits on the eastern edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The famous Aysgarth Falls is located in the neighbouring village to the south-east and the popular market town of Leyburn sits just five miles east, making The Bolton Arms the perfect base to explore the area.
The pub has been owned by Martin and Stefanie Bellerby for three years. They’ve been presented with an business opportunity away from the pub sector that they would like to explore further.
They commented, “We came back from Abu Dhabi and took over the Bolton Arms in December 2018 to pursue a career and lifestyle change. We’re both from Yorkshire originally and knew the area really well.
'It has been everything we thought it would – a fantastic place to live and to work. We work hard but it’s incredibly rewarding. We have a brilliant team in place and can leave the business in their capable hands when we’re not around.
'We’ve built a brilliant reputation for our food offering and our letting bedrooms are extremely popular with holiday-makers. We haven’t forgotten we’re a pub, however, and take pride in our bar – it is always well stocked and popular with the locals.
'Until such time that we do sell the business, our customers and staff can be assured that we’ll continue to run the business as though we were staying, indefinitely.”
David Cash, Associate Director in Christie & Co’s Hospitality team is handling the sale and added, “The Bolton Arms has seen a great deal of investment in recent years and is a fine example of a traditional country inn. We have sold a number of similar hospitality businesses in the Yorkshire Dales in the past year or so, including The Holly Hill Inn at Richmond, Aysgarth Falls Hotel and The Farmers Arms at Muker.
'The purchasers of these properties were hoping to capitalise on the current staycation boom which is expected to continue in 2022, as well as the desire to live and work in the beautiful North Yorkshire countryside. We expect interest in The Bolton Arms from similar types of buyers.'
