A PUB in the heart of a market town has been put up for sale by its pub giant owners.
The King Charles II in Ross-on-Wye, located on Broad Street, is being marketed for £195,000 by agents Christie & Co.
The freehold is currently owned by pub operator Marston’s, which retains over 1,000 pubs across the UK.
A spokesperson for Marston's has confirmed the sale with the Hereford Times, adding that it remains business as usual at the site.
“We can confirm that the freehold of the King Charles II has been placed on the market and the pub will remain open for business as usual during that process," a spokesperson said.
“Knowing the important role it plays within the local community, our preference is to secure a buyer who will continue to operate the site as a pub.”
A spokesperson for Christie & Co said: "The property is situated within the town's established hospitality and commercial centre and is near to a range of independent retailers, cafés, restaurants and local amenities.

"Ross-on-Wye is a popular tourist destination renowned for its historic character and its position on the River Wye.
"The town acts as a gateway to the Wye Valley and Forest of Dean, attracting visitors throughout the year for walking, cycling, sightseeing and outdoor pursuits."
The traditional pub features a central bar, commercial kitchen, patio garden, and two to three-bedroom owner’s accommodation.
In March, Marston’s began looking for a new tenant for the site and said there was "huge potential for a food offering."
A spokesperson at the time said activities and late evening music events "bring the business to life."
