A cosy village pub in a glorious Cotswolds location is on the market with Colliers International’s hotels team.
The Lampet Arms in Tadmarton near Banbury is a traditional Cotswolds watering hole with the additional attraction of four well-presented letting bedrooms as well as superb accommodation for the owners.
Hotels director Peter Brunt said the pub offered tremendous value at just £275,000 freehold.
He said: “Pubs in the Cotswolds don’t usually offer this level of accommodation in this price band. The owners’ quarters are particularly impressive and the lettings bedrooms offer a great deal of potential for people seeking to provide high grade accommodation in an area of outstanding natural beauty.
“The present owners bought the business in 2004 but sadly ill health has prevented them from driving the business forward and making the most of the superb facilities they have created here.”
Built in Victorian times, the Lampet Arms had an unusual past having been built as a railway tavern in a village to which the trains never came.
Situated on the busy road between Banbury and Shipston-on-Stour, Tadmarton is a good-sized village with plenty of attractions for visitors and residents.
Peter Brunt said: “Tadmarton is just five miles west of Banbury situated in lovely North Cotswolds countryside. Bit it’s close enough to the big centres to draw custom from further afield as the M40 brings Birmingham within an hour’s drive.”
Accommodation is arranged on ground and first floors with cellars. The detached bedroom block is a single storey stone building. The Lampet Arms boasts an airy L-shaped bar and an attractive open fireplace, pool table and darts throw area.
The bar seats around 20 with plenty of standing space while the dining section also has an attractive Victorian fireplace and this can seat 16.
Four bedrooms offer maximum flexibility to sleep 12 (one double, one double plus single, one triple room and one double with two singles) .
Occupying the whole of the first floor, the owners suite includes three bedrooms, living room with attractive views to the countryside north of Tadmarton and an office.
There is a good sized commercial kitchen and beer cellar.
