A “COMMUNITY pub” in a Scottish town has been put up for sale as the owners have made the “difficult decision” to retire.
The Black Horse Inn, located in Montrose, is run by Keith Lawrence, his wife Carol and friends Gordon Allan and Jane Carpenter.
It is more than 150 years old and has been brought to market for around £250,000.
Property agents Bruce and Co are handling the sale of the pub, saying that it has “significant potential for development”.
It also comes with a “beautifully refurbished large one-bedroom flat located above the pub”.
The description reads: “A well-established public house located on a prime, bustling road in Montrose, under the same ownership for the past six years.
“This popular community bar is supported by groups of all ages and boasts a darts team that contributes to a lively atmosphere.”
The pub also regularly hosts live entertainment events most weekends.
Speaking to The Courier, Lawrence said: “It has been a difficult decision to reach but we all have other things we want to do at this stage in our lives.
“We have spent a lot of time and money on the pub and it is in a super condition for someone to walk into and take over.”
