A renowned village restaurant that has been under the same owners for over 40 years has been put on the market, along with the owner's accommodation, an Airbnb property, and another building.
Agent Sidney Phillips has listed Jules' Restaurant in Portland Street, Weobley for sale with a price tag of £495,000.
The sale is comprised of two separate buildings, with parts dating back to the 17th century.
The listing says that despite the business's "excellent reputation", the sale would still offer a new purchaser "scope for development".
The trade areas in the restaurant include an L-shaped dining area, "comprehensively" equipped catering kitchens, and a pastry kitchen complete with quarry-tiled floor.
The sale includes 'Portland Cottage', which is a detached, separate dwelling which has gained a 4.75-star rating on Airbnb.

The owner's accommodation includes a lounge, four bedrooms, and a family bathroom.
The sale also includes a large outbuilding, currently being used as a microbrewery, from which the owners brew beer under the brand 'The Weobley Brewery Company'.
The Weobley Brewing Company and its equipment are not included in the sale.
The microbrewery was started in 2018, when head chef Tom Edwards decided to combine two of his favourite pursuits.
Mr Whitmarsh was involved with the day-to-day running of the restaurant until his death in 2022.Julian Whitmarsh co-founded the restaurant with his wife Juliet in 1985, and remained involved until is death in 2022.
Mr Whitmarsh had retired from day-to-day operations several years before, but he remained part of the day-to-day life of the restaurant, providing advice and the occasional dish.
Mr Whitmarsh kept the kitchen supplied with a constant flow of soups, pates, terrines and casseroles, prepared and flavoured with the accuracy which has always characterised his signature dishes.
