Landmark pub in Coventry leased to JDW sold to private investor in £3.2m deal

A landmark site in Coventry which is now a Wetherspoon pub has been sold for more than £3m.

Property agent Bond Wolfe brokered the sale of The Flying Standard in Trinity Street to a private investor for £3.225m.

The Flying Standard is a medieval-style property containing a large public house on ground and first floors with two self-contained apartments on the second floor.

The property offers 12,170 sq ft plus a roof terrace of 685 sq ft.

Bond Wolfe managing partner James Mattin said: "City centre freehold properties rarely come to the market, and so we were delighted to work with the purchaser and advisers Coffer Corporate Leisure on the acquisition."

The building derives its name from the motor car, part of a range of models made in Coventry from 1903 until the 1960s. The Flying Standard models made their debut in 1936.

The seller was represented by VKM Solicitors in Wolverhampton and the purchaser was advised by McLellans Solicitors in Hertford.
