The Leeds office of leisure property specialists, Fleurets, has been instructed to handle the sale.

Nick Thomas of Fleurets said: “The Red Lion Inn is an established and profitable business with a broad base of trade.

“During their ownership, the Burns’ have developed the Red Lion into a successful all-round country inn, which involved the building of a detached block of four letting bedrooms coming on stream in 2015”.

Looking to the future, recently granted planning permission for a new residential development in the village should further help to attract additional local trade.
