• Description

  The Star Inn is a characterful and substantial period property which, although currently closed, has historically been known in the East Riding as a popular Free house and restaurant. The 5,500 sq ft property has the benefit of a recent full planning consent for change of use to a building comprising: public house, convenience store, cafe and 4 Residential units including a two bedroom managers apartment, a two bedroom cottage and two, one bedroom apartments. Some of the accommodation would now benefit from refurbishment and its sale provides an excellent opportunity to investors and developers as well as anyone looking for a business opportunity.
