A FORMER pub and restaurant is to be re-developed for housing.

The Bugatti pub in Gretton near Winchcombe is in the middle of the village and it will be converted and extended to create a large four bedroom house.

A barn nearby and adjacent land will also be used to create two three bedroom houses and the site is now being marketed by Burton Knowles.

Harry Breakwell from Bruton Knowles’ Gloucester office said: "The attractive scheme has been sympathetically designed noting the central location within the Cotswold village of Gretton.

"With another pub business close by, Enterprise Inns stated it had become increasingly difficult to sustain the Bugatti in its former role.

"While there will be some sadness to see a pub close down, the new buildings will make an attractive addition and help maintain Gretton as a thriving village."

Tewkesbury Borough Council granted full planning permission on Friday January 27.

The site is now for sale by way of an informal tender, with bids to be received by noon on Friday March 31 2017.

The new homes will provide a total of 5,176 sq ft of living space.

Viewings are available by prior appointment on Wednesday March 8and Wednesday March 22, from 9am until noon.
