A pub near Knaresborough that suffered two fires in three years has been put up for sale.
The Tiger Inn at Coneythorpe has remained closed since the second fire in August last year.
Now, after months of uncertainty, the inn has been offered for sale for £495,000.
According to Fleurets, the listing agent, the pub was “superbly successful” with a turnover in the region of £900,000 in recent years.
However, it acknowledged “the kitchen was damaged by a fire in August”, adding:
It said the remainder of the property was in “very good condition, unaffected by the fire and ready to trade”.

Fleurets said the two-storey property included a ground floor bar and restaurant and a recently refurbished studio flat upstairs.
It added:
The property, which is under a freehold tenure, also still holds a premises licence.

The Stray Ferret has reported on the fires at the Tiger Inn over the years – most recently in November.
It suffered its first fire in November 2020. The blaze, which started in the kitchen, lasted for six hours and caused widespread damage to the site.
It then re-opened after renovations in October 2021, only for a second blaze, attributed to an overheating ice machine, to occur last year.
