The company’s listing said: “The Crown Inn is a centuries-old public house which is reputed to date back to the 17th century. 

“It is a character, stone-built, cottage-style property that sits at the heart of the village, surrounded by a number of similarly attractive buildings. 

“The property appears to be constructed mainly of stone and brick, with rendered and colour washed elevations under predominantly pitched slate roofs. 

“It sits within a good size plot offering trade and private gardens, along with parking. 

“It also has the benefit of four en suite letting bedrooms to entice customers from afar.”

The Crown Inn is one of many south Shropshire pubs currently up for sale. The Bennetts End Inn at Knowbury, near Ludlow, is also currently on the market for £295,000.
