Radio presenter Chris Evans has bought a country inn in Wales from a private owner for around £1m.

The property, the Newbridge Inn, is located on the banks of the River Usk in the village of Tredunnock, Monmouthsire, and combines bed and breakfast accommodation with a gastro pub.

The property will be the third pub in Evans’ portfolio, following his acquisition of two sites in Surrey – the Mulberry Tree in Chiddingfold and the Red lion in Milford.

The freehold deal was brokered by Christie + Co.
