Outstanding Cotswolds landmark the Inn at Fossebridge is on the market with sector specialists Colliers International at a cool £1.85 million freehold. Potential buyers can also secure a separate four bedroom house for £450,000 freehold.
The elegant and highly successful business occupies a fabulous riverside spot on the A429 Fosse Way between Cirencester and Northleach in the heart of one of the UK’s most popular visitor destinations, and Cotswolds specialist Peter Brunt predicts the charming up-market inn will not be on the market long.
He said: “This is a well thought out all-round and profitable business with scope for further development. With so many ready cash buyers on the lookout for new businesses in the area I do not imagine it will be out there too much longer.”
A finalist in the Taste of Gloucestershire Food & Farming Awards in the Best Pub Food category, the Inn has a proud history stretching back 300 years and now offers nine letting bedrooms to sleep 19 (eight doubles and one double plus single)
Parts of the building are believed to date back to the 18th century but there are also two highly profitable self-catering cottages which were originally part of the outbuildings. There is also a block of staff bedrooms and a one-bedroom owner’s cottage. An adjoining coach house is currently let as offices.
“In addition to all this the Inn at Fossebridge also enjoys second road access at the rear which offers the potential to further develop the area around the lake – subject to the usual planning permissions.”
Principally built of local Cotswold stone the main building oozes with olde worlde charm and offers a mix of different styles and wide variation between rooms. The property sits within wonderful 3.4 acre grounds alongside the River Coln.
The rustic and cosy guest facilities include two bars and a dining room which can sit 64 but can be divided for private parties.
