One of the oldest inns in Knaresborough has been sold with planning permission to convert it to a pub and six homes.
The Board Inn, which is situated in a prime town centre location next to the bus station, was sold by Harrogate estate agents FSS Property after eight months on the market.
The property fetched “very close” to the guide price of £325,000, according to the estate agents.
It was sold under auction conditions at the end of last month with planning permission for a public house, two flats and four houses.
The buyer’s details have not been revealed but the town’s easy access to the A1 make it an enticing option for developers looking for residential opportunities.
The pub has been sold at a time when Knaresborough’s high street has seen several new shops.
