Grade II-listed Tamworth pub up for grabs

A grade II-listed Tamworth pub has been brought to market.

The Tamworth Arms (known locally as The Bottom House) can date its history back to the 19th century, according to business property advisers Christie & Co.

It has 21 rooms as well as the pub on the ground floor, and also includes a three-bedroom accommodation for the owner. It has an asking price of £750,000 for the freehold interest.

The Tamworth Arms was acquired by its current owners Ian and Kerry Walker in 1991, who are now looking to retire.

The Walkers said: “After 27 successful years running The Tamworth Arms we are finally looking to retire which is the reason we have decided to put the pub on the market.

“This is very much a local’s pub, with 21 en suite bedrooms, which is also a busy side of the business.

“We have a great team working for us which makes life easier. It’s a good little business which provides a good return and we now feel ready to pass our success on and relax.”

Joshua Sullivan, senior business agent at Christie & Co said: “The Tamworth Arms is a classic pub with rooms which caters for both contractor and leisure trade. It is a short distance from both Tamworth town centre and Drayton Manor, which provides strong custom for the business.

“There is plenty of scope to build upon the existing trade and improve profit margins for a new operator.”
