Nestled in the heart of a picturesque Oxfordshire village, an 18th-century pub has been placed on the market.

The Lamb Inn in Crawley near Witney dates back to the 1700s and has “remained at the heart” of the village ever since.

It has multiple dining areas with room for 80 guests, a main bar and an additional 80 in its pub garden with parking for 25 customers.

The pub is said to receive “ample passing trade and business” from other towns such as Burford as well as Oxford.

A statement on the listing by estate agents Christie & Co said: “The business' reputation has been built steadily over the years, backed up by an excellent team of staff that could smoothly transfer to a new owner.

“This is demonstrated by the fact that the business has won a host of awards over the years.

“A new operator would immediately benefit from the pub's excellent reputation and steady stream of affluent clientele.”

Recent investments by the owner have modernised the two-storey pub.

But Christie & Co says the pub has retained "its historic charm with oak beams, wood-burning stoves, and exposed brick walls".

Two apartments, a three-bed with a lounge, kitchen and bathroom and the second containing two bedrooms and a bathroom, sit above the pub.
