A handsome period freehouse set in the southern Cotswold Hills, presented with characterful public rooms and a fully equipped catering kitchen. The ground floor offers a main bar, snug and two dining rooms that suit both locals and destination visitors. The pub has an enclosed courtyard and an off-street car park, supporting trade and customer convenience.
Upstairs currently provides three en suite letting bedrooms alongside separate self-contained living accommodation; the listing records six bedrooms in total and a single bathroom, which suggests the accommodation layout should be checked and could require adaptation for larger-scale guest operation. There is clear scope to add additional letting rooms to increase turnover, subject to planning and refurbishment.
The business benefits from a very low-crime, very affluent catchment and proximity to well-regarded state and independent schools. Transport and local amenities are plentiful for a small town location, though broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average — factors to consider if marketing to business guests or offering digital services.
Suitably positioned for an owner-operator or investor, this well-appointed freehouse offers established trade and incremental growth potential. Material unknowns include tenure and any specific running licenses or historic building constraints; these should be confirmed during due diligence.
