In the first instance, it offers budding restaurateurs the chance to set up in an established location.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the central location provides a range of alternative uses, subject to planning permission. Given the historic nature and ongoing popularity of Ashby-de-la-Zouch, it is an attractive proposition in a great area, regardless of its ultimate use.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buyers are being offered a restaurant setup alongside residential
