The White Bear Inn in Main Street, Stillington, has been listed for £985,000 by Barry Crux estate agents. Built in the 1700s, the pub was first used as a stopping point for coaches travelling from Leeds to Helmsley, whilst travelling through York.

In the listing, a spokesperson for Barry Crux said: "A historic end of terrace two storey property with colour washed elevations under a pitched tiled roof.
"To the rear there are extensive single-storey extensions mainly under pitched tiled roofs, housing storage and the letting cottages."
Previous owners Phil and Sue Robinson also ran The Ainsty Hotel from 1989-1993, before taking on the lease of The White Bear Inn in 1995 and purchasing it freehold in 1998.
