A bar in the heart of Newquay that was due to go under the hammer has been sold prior to auction.

The Wax Activity Bar in Central Square was listed with a freehold guide price of £145,000 plus in the October auction by Clive Emson Auctioneers.

But it was sold prior to the sale when an offer was accepted by the vendor.

A former bank building, it is arranged over two floors with a main bar area upstairs and a small outside space.

Auction appraiser Steve Appleby said: “There was keen interest is this prominently positioned property in the heart of Newquay.

“An offer made before the auction was accepted by the vendor. These type of sales prior to auction happen occasionally when an interested party is keen to acquire land or property before they go under the gavel.”

Clive Emson Auctioneers’ last online auction of this year, the eighth, ends on December 11, with bidding live from December 9. Lot entries close on November 17 and the catalogue is online from November 20.
