A Kent pub and restaurant that has pulled pints for Ed Sheeran is up for sale.
The Hengist in Aylesford, near Maidstone, is a 16th century pub with a modern restaurant area that has been attracting local residents for years.
Earlier this year, the staff took a selfie with popstar Ed Sheeran after the singer stopped by for the evening.
He visited on a Wednesday night, when The Hengist offers a "steak night special", and stopped to take photos with members of staff during his time there.
Now the Grade II listed building, which sold a decade ago for £310,000 at auction after the previous owner Paul Smith passed away, is on the market for £625,000.
The Hengist is just a short walk from the banks of the River Medway and is located in a conservation area.
The restaurant is situated on the ground floor of the building with additional seating upstairs.
The dining section offers comfortable booths, a cosy fireplace and beamed ceilings.
There’s also a separate bar for punters who just fancy a drink.
The Hengist also has an outside seating area with a covered terrace, beer garden and views of the nearby stream.
For those interested in purchasing the historic building, the rent is £48,000 per year with a six-year lease that expires in 2027.

The Hengist can be found at 7-9 High Street in Aylesford.
