A HAMPSHIRE pub has been sold to developers for £350,000.

Enterprise Inns has sold the freehold of The Middlecroft in Middlecroft Lane, Gosport to Starvale Developments Ltd, based in Gosport.

It comes after its former owners moved out of the premises in June.

The two-storey pub, which was built in the 1930s features two large bars, a games area, a lounge bar and a dance floor as well as a private courtyard, beer garden and children's play area.

Adam Bullas, licensed leisure director at estate agent Savills which oversaw the sale, said: “The Middlecroft combines a well-connected location with potential for pub, restaurant, retail and even residential use, subject to planning consent.

"As such, it attracted significant interest and we are pleased with the successful result achieved on behalf of our client.”

A planning application regarding the site has not been submitted to Gosport Borough Council.
