One of Cumbria's most famous tea rooms has gone up for sale - with offers in the region of £2.5m.
Granny Dowbekin’s, at Pooley Bridge, is on sale after its owner decided to focus on his writing career.
Businessman Colin Hindle has appointed commercial property specialist Colliers to market the tearoom, which includes a tiered riverside tea garden and two high quality self-catering holiday letting apartments.
He has decided swap his apron - and famous Pooley ‘Gingerbridge’ biscuits - for a pair of walking boots and a sketchbook in order to concentrate on a sequel to his successful illustrated book The Best of Lakeland Views (Volume 1), which was inspired by, and is a companion to, Alfred Wainwright’s famous collection.
