The listing says that the business is free of tie – those who run a 'tied house' are required to buy at least some of their beer from a particular brewery, whereas a 'free house' (free of tie) is able to stock beers of their choosing.

It is being 'reluctantly offered' by its current proprietors who, after five years, are planning to emigrate for their retirement.
