Landmark Mixed-Use Investment & Boutique Hospitality Business
Description
A rare opportunity to acquire, by way of a share sale, the entire issued share capital of the company owning The Vaults, an exceptional mixed-use freehold investment occupying a landmark position overlooking the historic Market Square in the heart of Stow-on-the-Wold.
Formerly the town's Georgian bank, the property has been sympathetically transformed into three beautifully appointed luxury furnished holiday apartments, complemented by two income-producing commercial units. The result is a unique investment opportunity combining a high-quality hospitality business with established commercial rental income, all underpinned by ownership of a debt-free freehold asset.
The Vaults enjoys an enviable position within one of the Cotswolds' most sought-after and internationally recognised destinations. Stow-on-the-Wold attracts visitors throughout the year, benefiting from its wealth of independent shops, restaurants, cafs and galleries, together with its proximity to attractions including Daylesford Organic Farm and Soho Farmhouse. Moreton-in-Marsh railway station is approximately 4.5 miles away, offering direct services to London Paddington in around 75 minutes.
The luxury apartments have been finished to an exceptional standard and have already established an outstanding reputation, having been featured extensively across national newspapers, travel publications and lifestyle media. The business has generated significant momentum since opening in late 2025 and is offered as a fully operational, turnkey enterprise with no day-to-day operational involvement currently required from the owner.
Alongside the hospitality business, the property benefits from two separately let commercial premises, providing immediate investment income and creating a diversified revenue profile.
Whether acquired as a premium investment, hospitality acquisition or lifestyle business, The Vaults represents one of the Cotswolds' most distinctive opportunities.

Commercial Accommodation
The property benefits from two established commercial investments providing secure rental income.

The office accommodation is currently let at £12,000 per annum, increasing to £14,000 per annum during the second year of the lease.
Hospitality Business
The three luxury furnished holiday apartments have been individually designed to create an exceptional guest experience and have quickly established themselves as one of the Cotswolds' premier boutique accommodation offerings.
Having commenced trading in late 2025, the business is forecast to generate approximately £150,000 turnover during its first full trading year, with further growth anticipated as the business matures and benefits from increasing brand recognition, repeat bookings and continued demand within the Cotswolds hospitality market.
