The oldest building in a Cheshire town has been put up for sale with a guide price of £1.85m.
Churches Mansion is a grade I-listed building which dates back to 1577. It underwent a refurbishment in 2019 after being bought in the year before by Sophia and Kyriakos Haelis for £995,000.
The building has operated as a restaurant since then and provides a total of 200 covers across the ground and first floor.

The building also houses a four bedroom owners accommodation with kitchen, bathroom, living room and office, which offers the potential for a fifth bedroom. In addition, the property is a popular wedding venue, and is fully licensed for civil ceremonies.
Tom Cunningham, hotels and licensed leisure director at Savills, said: "Churches Mansion combines outstanding hospitality with historic, local character, so we are delighted to bring this fantastic restaurant to market.
"The current owners have fully refurbished the property to an exceptionally high standard, including a high spec professional kitchen as well as excellent living accommodation, and we look forward to welcoming offers from prospective buyers."
The Tudor property was previously owned by the Churche family for 350 years before being purchased in 1930 and operated as a tea room and restaurant until 1986.
It has attracted a number of famous visitors during its period as a restaurant, including US President Ronald Reagan and TV chef Delia Smith.
Before becoming a restaurant, the mansion was used as a retail shop for Adams Antiques, a specialist dealer of 18th and 19th century antique furniture.
