A DALES pub which went on the market for sale this spring has been reduced in price for a third time.

The White Lion, at Cray, near Buckden, in Upper Wharfedale, is being offered for sale by agents Christie & Co. It has been fully renovated by the present owner who has been in place for nearly 10 years.

It first went on the market in May for £699,950 + VAT but in September the price was reduced by £100,000 after no buyer came forward.

In October the price was dropped again to £535,000 plus VAT with a freehold tenure and this week the agents have said there has been a further reduction to £495,000 plus VAT. Over £200,000 less than when it first went on the market.

The premises offers a fully restored former drovers inn with a generous sized bar and seating area with original open fireplace, currently with approximately 25 covers, but with the potential for more.

Nine en-suite bedrooms are currently operated as a mixture of king sized rooms, double rooms and a twin room. 

There is a self-contained one bedroomed flat on the ground floor with small kitchen, living room and bathroom with WC.
