A 4-star hotel with a golf course where Justin Rose won his first tournament is on the market for $5 million.
Patshull Park Hotel Golf and Country Club is set in 200 acres of rolling countryside on the Shropshire-Staffordshire border.
The 49-room hotel closed in 2000 and now the estate, together with its 18-hole golf course, is up for sale.

Rose has gone onto become one of Britain’s most successful golfers, winning the US Open and helping Europe retain the Ryder Cup.
In April the 44-year-old narrowly lost out to Rory McIlroy in a play-off at the Masters in Augusta.
Patshull Park spans 214 acres and includes a redundant hotel and function venue.
The palatial grounds boast several lakes, pasture and parkland created by landscape architect Capability Brown.
The main building adjoins a Grade Two listed Doric Temple, which was built in 1754.
There is also a fishing lodge located close to the entrance of the property.
Patshull Park has an ancient history and was recorded in the Domesday Book with a population of just 19.
Estate agents Fisher German believe the estate could be turned into a residential development or hotel.

Stuart Flint, Partner at Fisher German, said: "The redundant hotel is substantial and offers a spectacular lakeside redevelopment or refurbishment opportunity.
“Patshull Park is an outstanding property with a fascinating history and an abundance of potential uses and redevelopment opportunities.
“Set amidst unspoiled archetypal English countryside, the property is located within easy reach of local amenities and is less than seven miles from the nearest junction of the M54, making it the perfect setting for any redevelopment.”
The hotel closed in March 2020 when the country went into lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The following July, staff at the 49-bedroom hotel were made redundant after the company went into liquidation.
In September 2020, the estate was purchased by Staffordshire-based family business Mercer Farming with a view to farm sustainably.
Now, the family has said the former hotel and golf course are "surplus to requirements."
