A pub dubbed the “longest Homes Under the Hammer project ever” looks like it might be finally set to reopen after a painstaking 14-year restoration project.
The Old Cottage Pub in Margate, Kent, was welcoming regulars and serving pints up until 2007, when it was shuttered and left in a sorry state.
Two years later David Gorton, from Sidcup, Kent. snapped up the 370-year old inn for a “bargain” £90,000 on an episode of Homes Under the Hammer.
