A former HSBC brand in the Cotswolds, located at 18-19 Market Place in Chipping Norton, has been brought to market for £1.5m, as it benefits from full planning permission for a Class C1 boutique hotel and restaurant.
The property, which could be converted into a 31-room boutique hotel, dates back to the late 19th Century and consists of two adjacent vacant buildings covering 11,342 sq ft with a large rear garden.
Planning consent for the former bank also allows interior reconfiguration and the excavation of the rear garden. The building was originally constructed for Midland Bank and retains original features including two domed stained glass roof lights.
Chipping Norton is situated within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The town has become a popular destination for tourists and high-profile residents. Nearby attractions include Diddly Squat Farm Shop, Soho Farmhouse, and Daylesford Farm Shop.
In August 2025, the area received international attention when US vice-president JD Vance stayed in the nearby village of Dean for a private holiday. Other local residents include Jeremy Clarkson, Sir David and Lady Beckham, and Kate Moss.
Toby O’Sullivan, director at Watling Real Estate, who is handling the sale, said: “The Cotswolds is home to many celebrities and very popular with visitors to the UK. It is seen as a prime tourist destination with TV shows such as ‘Clarkson’s Farm’ firmly establishing the area on the map.
“The property offers an exciting and unique opportunity for investors and hoteliers to tap into the rapid growth of tourism across the Cotswolds. We believe this would prove very attractive to the burgeoning Cotswold investor market, and there has already been considerable interest shown locally.”
