Wiltshire brewer Wadworth has completed its acquisition of the Beckford Inn in the Cotswolds from a private seller.

The 18th century coaching inn, situated between Tewkesbury and Evesham, had been owned and operated by Anthony Mears and his wife Jane since 2009.

Wadworth bought the site for an undisclosed sum in excess of the property’s £1m guide price.

Nicholas Calfe, director at Christie + Co’s Bristol office handled the sale. He said: “The property is an excellent addition to Wadworth’s impressive portfolio and we are delighted to have played a part in their continued expansion.”
