 Planning permission for the construction of two four-bed detached dwellings was granted in 2020, providing various exciting hospitality or residential opportunities for the new owners.
 
Nicholas Calfe, hospitality director at Christie & Co who handled the sale, said: "The location of the Crown  Inn (on the edge of the affluent Cotswold Water Park) was a big draw, attracting interest far and wide, especially amongst local buyers who were aware of the potential it offers and the opportunity to develop land to the rear.
 
“Christie & Co received multiple offers for best and final offers, eventually selling to a cash buyer who exchanged and completed the transaction within 6 weeks at an undisclosed price.”
