A former Wetherspoons pub in Willenhall town centre has been acquired by a local developer.

The Malthouse, located in a prominent corner position on New Road fronting the B4464 and B4484, closed its doors last year.

Offers in the region of £650,000 had been invited by Towler Shaw Roberts ahead of a sale being completed.

TSR’s Martin Zaki, who facilitated the move, said: “The property is set on a substantial plot that is located at the very heart of Willenhall, with Wolverhampton city centre 3.4 miles to the west, and Junction 10 of the M6 motorway approximately 3.4 miles to the east.

“As part of a £55 million investment, there are works planned to be undertaken to provide a passenger rail service in Willenhall next year, which will be a short walk from the property.

“We are delighted to have completed this sale to the local developer.”

The building has a gross internal floor area of 10,236 sq ft across four floors, with the ground floor, where the pub and restaurant area was located, approximately 7,640 sq ft.
