Popular 90-year-old Oxford pub put up for £700,000 sale

The Corner House in Hollow Way, Headington, was built in the mid-1930s and remains a trading pub in the present day, despite rumours a decade ago it would be turned into a convenience store.

In 2015, New River Retail applied to change the use of the pub so it could be turned into a convenience store.

However in that same year local people successfully nominated it as an Asset of Community Value and the change of use did not occur.

Currently, it is reported that the New River Retail lease the pub to Marston’s PLC, which operates more than 1,300 pubs and inns across Great Britain.
