Estate agent Bettesworths described it as a “very popular and well-established business” that has been significantly developed and improved over the past two decades.

The pub has been operated by the same couple for over 20 years, and its reputation “spreads far and wide.”

An emphasis is placed on putting the pub “at the heart of the community” and there is also a shop to increase ‘knock on’ trade.

The Seven Stars Inn, Bottlesford - £795,000

The pub was bought in 2007 and traded for several years before being let to the current tenant in 2014.

It has been run by the same tenant for over a decade and is now for sale to allow all those involved to retire, said estate agent Colliers.

The pub is described as “an archetypal English freehouse” with three letting bedrooms.

The Carpenters Arms, Lacock - £675,000

The Carpenters Arms (Image: Rightmove) Located in the National Trust village of Lacock, The Carpenters Arms was put up for sale earlier this year amidst uncertainty over its future.

The venue has been shut for several years and had fallen into disrepair before being bought by Adrian Gott, who has invested in restoring it with repair work underway.

After planning delays and rising costs, Mr Gott said he would weigh up all his options, including selling the pub, before making a final decision on its future.

The Crown & Anchor, Ramsbury - £650,000

The Crown & Anchor (Image: Rightmove) The Crown & Anchor, east of Marlborough, has been closed for some time, according to estate agent Christie & Co.

It dates back to the 18th century and was once a popular village pub for many years. 

It is described as having “excellent potential” once refurbished and income would be bolstered by rented flats on the ground floor.
