«Breaking News» Oldest hotel in England goes on sale for £1.4million (and it even comes with a nearby pub)

A historic Grade-II listed hotel - which can boast being the oldest one in England - has gone on sale with a £1.4million price tag.  

The Lowther Hotel in Goole, East Yorkshire, was built in 1824 by bridge maker Sir Edward Banks and overlooks the River Ouse.

It claimed the title of England's oldest hotel after its predecessor - the Royal Clarence Hotel in Exeter - was destroyed by a fire in 2016. 

Up for sale: The Grade II-listed Lowther Hotel in Goole, East Yorkshire, was first built in 1824

The nearby Drake pub is also included as part of the sale.

Owners Howard and Julie Duckworth, who bought the Georgian hotel in 2008 and restored it to its former glory, have now decided to sell up and retire.

Howard said: 'It was originally built to be the home of visiting architects and engineers who were working on the docks, which are just across the road.

'The hotel has exactly the same footprint as it had when it was built, so if your great-great-grandmother or father came to see it today, they would still recognise it.'

In a statement regarding the sale, the couple said: 'After much soul searching, the family have decided that with Howard's illness and Julie being past retirement age, it has become evident over the last year that The Lowther and The Drake deserve someone else with the passion and drive to take them forward to the next level.'

The property, which is listed by Christie & Co, comprises 12 en-suite guest bedrooms over three storeys, private function rooms and two licensed venues, Eddie’s Bar & Bistro and the Voodoo Chilli Nightclub. 

The cobbled courtyard to the rear of the hotel, which has been used for open air events, leads to the Coach House, a bar and events space often utilised for private parties, the Coco Havana Bar, and the JD Grill diner and takeaway.  

Situated on the same street, The Drake operates as a pub and sports bar and offers accommodation for 10 guest rooms.  

The Drake was originally built as a bank in the 1880s, described as ‘the most prestigious banking hall in all of England’, and was owned by Barclays, before falling into disrepair in recent years.   

Mark Worley at Christie & Co said: 'We are very pleased to be able to market two buildings of such historic significance, however from a business perspective, there is also much to be excited about.'  

Tourism bosses VisitEngland named the hotel the oldest purpose-built in England and it was awarded the Best Rescue of a Heritage Site in the historic England Angel Awards 2016.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
