Family puts pub and former post office up for sale after 50 years at its helm

A traditional village pub that used to be a post office is up for sale. The Jack and Jill Inn in Clayton, near Hassocks, is in the South Downs National Park and has been owned by the Harman family for 55 years. The pub, originally a Victorian post office, has been passed through four generations of the family.

The current owners are looking to retire and travel. The building has extensive south and west facing gardens with views of the South Downs and the Jack and Jill windmills. It also has a separate garden room, guest and staff accommodation.
