The leasehold interest in The Harrier, an attractive public house in the sought after village of Hamble, has been sold to a couple from the nearby village of Netley Abbey through the Winchester office of leading licensed property agents, Christie + Co.

Located just outside Southampton on the south coast in Hampshire, picturesque Hamble is famous for its association with yachting and aviation and has three marinas, three yachting clubs and several pubs and restaurants.

The Harrier is located at 70 Hamble Lane, close to the village centre, and is well established as a traditional community pub, serving food at lunchtimes and attracting a local clientele.

The detached, two-storey, character property briefly comprises a public bar, dining area and games area, three-bedroom owner's accommodation, a trade beer garden with children's play equipment and ample customer car parking to the front.

Keith Goodwin of Christie + Co's Winchester office comments: "We have sold the leasehold interest in The Harrier on behalf of Jackie White, who has operated the pub for eight successful years. She managed the pub for five years before taking the opportunity to purchase the lease herself three years ago, and has now moved on to pastures new.

Hamble is a highly sought after location and the sale of The Harrier attracted plenty of interest. We are pleased to have sold it to a local couple, David and Sarah Brown from nearby Netley Abbey."

The Harrier was sold for an undisclosed figure from an asking price of £55,000 for the leasehold interest. There are eight years remaining on the current 10- year lease and the current rent is £27,900 per annum. The landlord is Enterprise Inns.
