A 122-year-old hilltop pub which “could be considered for development” is on the market.

The Diamond in Dover has been listed for £250,000 after the owners packed up and pulled the last pint on August 26.

In 1901, the boozer in Heathfield Avenue was opened by a brewery of the same name and originally had hotel rooms as well as a bar.

The inn is set over three floors and has views of Dover Castle.

Estate agent Everard Cole said: “The main garden is extensive and consists of a smoking shed, games room and allotment. There is a large area laid to grass, which could comfortably seat 100 customers on bench-style seating, which looks up to the pub on the hill.

“Alternatively the area could be considered for development, subject to planning.”

The building is “traditionally decorated” with a basement cellar and private kitchen.

There are three bedrooms upstairs along with a lounge and bathroom.

As well as this there is a decking area to the front of the tavern with bench seating and to the side is a gate leading down steps to the rear.

Halfway down these steps is a small paved area with views across the town’s hills and suburbs.
