Investment Opportunity: The Bakers Arms, Oxfordshire

Sidney Phillips are marketing for sale a characterful Grade II listed village pub, let on a new five-year lease, with attractive rental income and a freehold price of £285,000.

Investors looking for a character property with an established commercial use may wish to take a closer look at The Bakers Arms in Bodicote, Oxfordshire — a charming stone-built village pub and restaurant with a long history and a recently secured tenant.

Situated in the popular village of Bodicote, just two miles from Banbury, The Bakers Arms combines traditional character with a modern hospitality offering. The property has recently reopened as Masoom’s Indian Kitchen Bar (which is unaffected by the sale), creating an appealing opportunity to acquire a freehold investment already producing rental income.

The Bakers Arms is an attractive Grade II listed property, dating from the late 17th or early 18th century. Built from traditional Headington stone beneath a pitched slate roof, the building retains many of the qualities that make historic village pubs such appealing investments.

Inside, the property provides interconnecting trade areas arranged across four sections, creating a versatile layout for its current restaurant and bar operation.

The property also includes four-bedroom owners' accommodation arranged over two floors, together with a rear trade garden, adding further flexibility and appeal.

The Bakers Arms has recently been leased on a five-year term to Masoom’s Indian Kitchen Bar, providing investors with an immediate rental income stream. The current rent is £24,000 per annum, representing a yield of approximately 8.5%.

For investors seeking a property with distinctive character alongside an existing rental arrangement, The Bakers Arms offers an interesting proposition.
