And Fleurets divisional director Nick Earee said: “The property presented the opportunity for the new owner to put their own stamp on the Royal Oak with the opportunity to complete the refurbishments.”

He added: “The newly refurbished Royal Oak is due to open in the coming four months and they will be looking to recruit within the local community.”
