Village pub goes on sale

The Cowdray Arms in London Road, Balcombe, is on the market through estate agents Savills with a guide price of £700,000.

The Greene King pub was forced to temporarily close in April when around 70 per cent of the building’s first floor was damaged when fire broke out in a tumble dryer.

Savills describe the pub as a “traditional public house on a prominent main road” with recently refurbished three-bedroom manager’s accommodation and a ‘large trade garden.’

Savills describe the pub as being ‘close to Crawley and amenities of the countryside.’
