Savills, on behalf of a private client, has brought to the market the freehold interest of The Swan Antiques Centre and Restaurant in Tetsworth, Oxfordshire.
Offers are invited in the region of £1.5m for the 11,781 sq ft (1,094 sq m) Grade II* listed Elizabethan coaching inn, which is set over three floors, and currently comprises a 60 cover restaurant and antiques centre.
Situated on the high street adjacent to the cricket pitch in the village of Tetsworth, 15 miles (25km) east of Oxford, the attractive premises boasts traditional interior features including exposed timber framing and large open fireplaces. The antiques centre is spread over the ground and two upper floors and is divided into approximately 40 small interconnected rooms. More than 80 dealers of English and French furniture and decorative antiques are represented at the property.
The building covers approximately 15% of the property’s 1.165 acre (0.471 ha) site, which also contains a gravelled approach, manicured garden with seating for 30 diners, and parking for approximately 60 cars.
Adam Bullas, associate at Savills, comments: “This is a highly individual business opportunity with considerable period charm in a very attractive location. The Swan has a very good reputation and it is rare an opportunity like this comes to market. We therefore anticipate a good deal of interest in it.”
