Penrith’s popular Agricultural Hotel is set to go under the hammer next month.
Gary and Wendy Bowden, of the Agricultural Hotel, announced earlier this year that they will cease trading on Sunday, June 4, having decided after 20 years to end their lease on the PFK-owned pub.
The property is now set to go under the hammer at The Halston Hotel, Warwick Road, Carlisle, at noon on May 25 through Auction House Cumbria.
With a guide price of between £250,000 to £350,000, it is described as a substantial hotel property occupying a prime position near the railway station, castle and M6 motorway at Junction 40.
The listing states: “The property is offered with vacant possession.
“It comprises spacious bar and dining facilities on the ground floor, six en suite bedrooms on the first floor and a large self-contained owners flat on the second floor.
“There is also the large former sale room with bull ring which is currently unused, but offers potential for a variety of uses subject to any necessary planning consent.”
