Christie+Co has sold the leasehold interest on this pub to an experienced Hampshire licensee.

The attractive period property is located in the conservation area of Purewell, half a mile from Christchurch high street. The pub comprises a lounge bar and dining area, games room and three-bedroom owner's accommodation. In addition, it boasts an enclosed courtyard beer garden and customer car park.

Poindestre paid an undisclosed sum for the leasehold.

Teign House Inn

Christow

Devon

Guy Simmonds has successfully completed the sale of the free-of-tie lease on this Dartmoor landmark freehouse on behalf of John Hulme and Una Hoyle. New owners Peter and Sue McGregor bought the leasehold off an asking price of £168,000. The highly profitable inn is set in seven acres of land by the river Teign and has its own fishing rights and caravan/camping site. The McGregors are to take advantage of planning consent for a conservatory dining area to complement the main bar, restaurant and garden trading areas.

The Barge Inn

Keadby

North Lincolnshire

The freehold on this property has recently been purchased by S&NPE, through RTA Business Consultants Limited, for an undisclosed sum. Situated on the bank of the Stainforth & Keadby canal at its junction with the river Trent, the outlet has a good local reputation for food. The pub is also well-known as a family venue, with a wide selection of beverages for all ages and preferences. RTA claims that the Barge Inn will now benefit from being acquired by a large pubco because this will ensure that the business is fully developed to reach its optimum potential. Briefly, the pub comprises a patio and lawned beer garden adjacent to the riverbank - meaning the outlet is ready for the smoking ban.
