High Street, Lechlade, GL7

Dating back to the 16th Century, The Crown is a Grade II Listed former public house, prominently located in the heart of the popular Cotswold market town of Lechlade on Thames.

Closed as a public house in 2024, we are offering the property as a POTENTIAL RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY on a subject to planning agreement to be arranged by the prospective buyer.

An application would need to be submitted to Cotswold District Council but we believe a precedent has been set by their permission to allow a residential scheme on the next door former Colleys Restaurant.

LECHLADE ON THAMES

Lechlade-on-Thames is a market town at the southern edge of the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire. It is the highest point at which the River Thames is navigable. The town is a popular venue for tourism and river-based activities. There are several pubs, some antique shops, a convenience store, food outlets, a garden centre and a good range of further shops. The 15th century Church of England parish church of Saint Lawrence overlooks the Market Place. The main roads through the town can be busy at peak times as the town is at the crossroads of the A417 and A361. Where the A361 enters the town from the south it crosses the River Thames on Halfpenny Bridge. Another tributary of the Thames, the River Coln, joins the Thames at the Inglesham Round House.
