Better Furniture, based in Southtown Road, Yarmouth, is closing with a sale of all items.

Meanwhile, its sister shop on Barker Street in Norwich was also closed this week. But a post from the store on social media has indicated it is re-opening as normal.

The store announced its closing down sale on social media, posting on Twitter and Facebook: "Our Southtown Road store is closing down. The building has been sold and everything is reduced to clear. Starts Thursday, 9am."

It stated there would be "huge reductions" on all items including dining and bedroom furniture, designer and handmade sofas, beds, rugs, mirrors and oak furniture. It also stated the Norwich store would "continue to fulfil all your new, existing and future special orders."

Better Furniture was established on Boxing Day 2008 and owned by a company called Emporium Pine Limited, based in Yarmouth.
