THE Old Yeomanry House B&B in Wantage is set to close and turn into a family home within months.

Wantage town and county councillor Jenny Hannaby, who runs the guest house on Wallingford Street, is planning to sell up and retire.

She said she has now found suitable buyers in a family from Abingdon, and has applied for a change in planning permission from business to residential.

Mrs Hannaby is planning to move to a flat just two doors down, which, she noted, is conveniently located exactly opposite the Shoulder of Mutton pub.
