Much-loved Wylam village pub up for grabs as owner retires

Dating back to 1868, The Black Bull Inn has long been a popular destination for locals and tourists, which serves a selection of beers, ales (including some from the local Wylam Brewery), wines, spirits and food. With eight guest rooms available, the pub also acts as an excellent base to enjoy the many activities on offer in Wylam and the surrounding region.

Once a grocers and an abattoir, The Black Bull Inn has won many awards including Pub of the Year for three years running, (2005, 2006 and 2007) as well as Best Village Pub and Best Freehouse of the North East. The guest rooms have all been recently refurbished, including the three bedroom top floor apartment. The pub is up for sale as the current owner has decided to retire after 20 years. 

 Having a recent refurbishment throughout the property, there is an excellent opportunity for potential new owners to acquire this highly profitable, updated business.

Marslie McGregor, Business Agent - Hospitality at Christie & Co is handling the sale and comments, “The Black Bull Inn is a hugely successful business in an affluent pocket of Northumberland, within easy reach of the airport and the many tourist attractions throughout the region. Having recently undergone a refurbishment, this is a fantastic turnkey opportunity for either an existing operator looking to add to their portfolio, or a first-time buyer, to pick up a much-loved village pub.”

The Black Bull Inn is on the market on a freehold basis, with a guide price of £799,000.
