The Rose & Crown is a quintessential Cotswold village pub set in a Grade II listed stone building with heavy beams, flagstone floors and working fireplaces. Spread over ground, first and attic floors, the freehold includes a spacious three‑bedroom owner’s flat currently unoccupied, plus bar, snug and ancillary rooms — all fixtures and fittings are included in the sale. The pub has an EPC rating of C and benefits from double glazing and oil‑fired central heating.
Outside, a south‑facing patio and raised sun terrace create strong seasonal trading space, with a wood‑fired pizza oven and Argentinian grill handling approximately 36 covers externally. The pub’s location on a popular walking route and proximity to Upton House, Banbury and several tourist attractions supports a steady mix of local and visitor trade. The 2023 Rateable Value is £12,000; premises are fully licensed and free of tie.
Important considerations: the building’s Grade II listed status protects original features but will complicate alterations and may increase repair costs and timescales. The property is heated by an oil boiler — operating costs will be sensitive to oil prices and future fuel decisions. Indoor capacity is modest and parking relies on nearby village green, roadside and occasional overflow at the village hall, which may limit busy service periods.
This opportunity suits an operator or investor seeking a characterful Cotswold pub with accommodation and strong outdoor trading potential. Buyers should allow for listed‑building maintenance and planning constraints when assessing refurbishment or growth plans.
