A VILLAGE pub which was put up for sale in May has been reduced by over £100,000 after no buyer came forward.

The White Lion, at Cray, near Buckden, is being offered freehold with vacant possession by agents Christie & Co.

Plus a snug/small dining room off to one side with log burning stove. A large and spacious commercial kitchen with walk in fridge.

There are nine ensuite letting rooms currently operated as a mixture of king sized rooms, double rooms and a twin room. All have ensuite shower facilities. There is scope to add to these, with two additional bedrooms and a house bathroom currently used privately, plus the potential conversion of existing outbuildings, currently used as staff facilities.

The property has mains electric with diesel back up generator, private water supply and septic tank.

The White Lion was vacant prior to the current owner taking over around 10 years ago. The area is popular with walkers and tourists.

All fixtures and fittings are included in the sale apart from any items personal to the agent's clients.
