25/2/2026 - Post on Facebook from Heald Green Councillors stating: "We're advised The Beech Tree pub site sold today at auction for £912k, it will likely take 28 days for the purchase to complete...". 10/1/2026 - Building and site (0.2 ha) for sale by auction for £650k with potential for redevelopment. 2/6/2023 - Structure damaged by fire. Future now very uncertain. History: Comfortably appointed estate house. Separate vault to left with large drop-down TV screen, darts area and pool table. A large open fire completed the setting, with wall decor related to football and boxing. The right hand part was a nicely fitted-out lounge with a small snug area off it and a small stage area too. In mid-2016, it was taken on by a young couple with small children. They invested heavily to make this a local, family-orientated warm place to be, with a brand new children's indoor play area and new kitchen that served up great food as well.
