The Lamb Inn dates back to the 1700s and has remained at the heart of the village ever since.
It has several dining areas with room for 80 guests, a main bar and an additional 80 places in its pub garden, with parking for 25 customers.
The pub is said to receive “ample passing trade and business” from other towns such as Burford as well as Oxford.
A statement on the listing by estate agents Christie & Co said: “The business' reputation has been built steadily over the years, backed up by an excellent team of staff that could smoothly transfer to a new owner.
“This is demonstrated by the fact that the business has won a host of awards over the years.
“A new operator would immediately benefit from the pub's excellent reputation and steady stream of affluent clientele.”
The Crown & Tuns in Deddington is a Grade-II listed pub which has been described as “lending itself to residential development”.

The ground floor has a single front entrance to a traditional pub interior and the pub has been described as "Deddington’s best kept secret" by staff.
Inside, there is seating for around 50 people while a long beer garden can fit an additional 70 people.
There is living accommodation on two floors with a self-contained flat with bedroom, reception and bathroom on the first floor.

The Three Pigeons in Banbury dates back to the 17th century.
The Grade-II listed building stands on a busy crossroads with Warwick Road and Castle Street on the edge of the main town centre.
It was taken over by its current owners in 2011 who completed a 12-month refurbishment programme.
This included incorporating a former barn and creating a bar, service facilities, letting accommodation and garden.
The main bar has a boarded floor throughout, a heavily beamed ceiling, an inglenook fireplace and exposed Cotswold stone walls.
There is traditional seating including benches and chairs arranged for 34 customers.
There is also room for 20 customers in the pub’s dining facilities and a further 20 in the conservatory.
The garden room is used for private dining and small meetings which can cater for up to 22 people.
The courtyard garden which is stone paved fits around 44 customers and has a covered, illuminated and heated smoking area.
The owner’s accommodation is located over the pub while there are also three ensuite bedrooms.
