A historic village pub is set to reopen following a refurbishment, after being sold to a local businessman.
The Grade II listed White Swan in Bosham, near Chichester, has been purchased by Peter Terry of Emsworth Heating Limited.
Currently closed, the building will be refurbished and reopened, with plans to relaunch the venue later this year.
Mr Terry said: "We are grateful for this chance to bring a historically important building back into use.
"It is important we maintain and preserve our historically important heritage.
"The White Swan Hotel will reopen late summer 2026 to provide a fine dining experience and we look forward to welcoming new and old customers alike."
Sold by specialist business property adviser Christie & Co on behalf of private owners, the pub features a bar and restaurant with seating for around 60 diners and outdoor space for 30 guests.
It also includes a three-bedroom residence, on-site parking, and is located within the Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

"It has been a strong start to the year for pub sales in this region, with plenty more in the pipeline as we move into the second half of the year."
The pub has been closed since March last year, according to consumer organisation Campaign for Real Ale.
