The Royal Oak was advertised for sale, priced at £395,000, through the Midlands office of Fleurets Limited, based in Birmingham.

It was described as having 'two trading areas and kitchen, car parking and a three bed private quarters'.

The listing added: "A detached two storey brick-built property which is set back slightly from the road, lies beneath a pitched tiled roof and extends to the rear. 

"Immediately beyond this is a good sized and entirely covered smoking shelter. There is also a tarmac car park with space for around 14 vehicles and, beyond this an overgrown but very useful grassed beer garden/children's play area. There is also a private yard with large garage store."
