Think Pubs - Think Tasker!
Want to run your own ''Licensed Retail Business''?
(Newcastle Journal, November, 2000.)
Instead of a purchasing a large country house, why not buy a business with a life style thrown in? Tasker and Co, the licensed specialists, are offering The Black Bull in Lowick for sale. The lovely village of Lowick, in north Northumberland, is near The Cheviots and the ever-popular coastline which attracts thousands every year. Tom and Anne Grundy have operated the business for eighteen years and are now retiring to a purpose-built house in the village - proof perhaps that the pub is profitable.
The charming 17th century detached property is full of character and has a two bedroom owners' flat. The four en-suite letting bedrooms are four diamonds standard and popular with tourists. The pub has won many awards and is Les Routiers Regional Pub of the Year 2001. It has a lounge bar, snug and dining room and trades with high profits from the £250,000 turnover.
Taskers are seeking offers around £375,000 for the freehold.
