Crown - Under Offer
South Moreton, Didcot, Oxon, OX11 9AG
Introduction
The Crown is in a village situated 3 miles from Didcot, 4 miles from Wallingford and approx 10 miles from the Historic City of Oxford. The Crown is sign posted from the Main A4130 Wallingford road, and has a fantastic business opportunity for someone looking for a traditional village pub with good food potential. The surrounding Chiltern Hills are popular with walkers and cyclists and you are never too far away from the relaxed Oxfordshire lifestyle. The Crown would benefit from a good ‘hands on’ approached Landlord/Lady, who needs to maintain the village life as well as attract new food trade. Having being traded as a friendly local and situated at the centre of the village it makes for a lovely family retreat, the local village primary school is 150 yards from the pub, with one of the many business opportunities from RAF Benson which is a few miles away.
The Crown is currently being traded under holding management so please call Ashley Carkeet on 01380 723366 for a more detailed report .
