A historic Isle of Wight pub dating back to the 18th century has hit the market, months after closing its doors.
Formerly owned by pub giant Greene King, the Hare and Hounds, at Downend, was shut in April following the end of a consultation with staff.
Marketed by Savills, the building is listed for sale, inviting offers in the region of £825,000.
As well as the pub, the beer garden, car park, and a two storey red brick built building with three-bedrooms are also included in the sale.

The pub's future was thrown into doubt at the end of March after a team member consultation was launched.
At the time, Greene King said 'multiple factors' were being considered before an outcome was decided.
In April, the final decision was made to shut the pub.
A spokesperson for Greene King previously said: “Following a period of team member consultation, we can confirm that the Hare & Hounds has now closed.
"We are grateful to everyone who has supported the Hare & Hounds over the years, and we look forward to welcoming them into our other pubs in the local area soon.”
Staff were offered alternative roles at its other Island pubs, where possible.
The pub is well-known for peacocks which frequent the grounds every day.
When asked what will be done for the peacocks, a spokesperson said there was no further information to share.
