A truly unique opportunity has arisen in the heart of the picturesque Cotswold village of Chedworth, as the historic Seven Tuns inn, dating back to the 17th century, has been brought to market by leading property advisors, Colliers. This Grade II-listed freehouse, steeped in history and traditional charm, is on the market for £800,000 for its freehold, or alternatively, a new free-of-tie lease can be granted.
The Seven Tuns, believed to have been established around 1610, has long served as a vital social hub for both locals and visitors to Chedworth. Its honeyed stone façade and rustic character embody the timeless appeal of the quintessential English village pub. Though currently closed since November 2023, the inn is fully equipped and poised for a swift re-opening, ready to thrive once again under new and enthusiastic ownership.
Peter Brunt, a director in Colliers’ Hotels team, expressed his enthusiasm for the listing: “The Seven Tuns has been part of Chedworth’s story for centuries. It’s ready for someone with energy and vision to bring it back to life, and this is exactly the kind of opportunity many buyers dream of.”
He continued, “The Seven Tuns combines historic charm, a picturesque Cotswold setting, and a layout that’s ready to trade. Whether you’re an experienced operator or someone looking to make a lifestyle move, this is a site with enormous potential. With the right approach, it could once again become a thriving pub at the heart of both the local community and the wider visitor economy.”
The property boasts impressive facilities, offering more than 100 internal covers spread across multiple inviting rooms, including a traditional bar area, a spacious main dining room, and a versatile first-floor space ideal for private functions or group gatherings. Outdoors, a charming beer garden shaded by mature trees provides additional seating for 40 to 50 guests, perfect for enjoying the Cotswold air.
The current owners have regained possession and are offering the property with vacant possession, providing a clear path for a new proprietor to step in and immediately relaunch this beloved village institution. The sale presents a rare chance to acquire a significant piece of Cotswold heritage, with the promise of becoming a thriving community focal point once more.
