Walsall pub to go under the hammer

The Cambridge pub in Caldmore is set to go under the hammer this month.

The pub, near Walsall, has a guide price of £180,000-£200,000 and is being auctioned bu SDL Auctions Bigwood.

Located around eight miles from Birmingham city centre, the two-storey building is on the corner of Cambridge and Arundel Street, with a beer garden and courtyard.

There is a seating area providing approximately 80 covers surrounding the bar. The first floor features six double rooms and a single, and there’s further outdoor space in the form of a roof terrace.

The pub has already been closed, but much of its equipment is still available.

Auction valuer Chris Theocharides said: “We are told that the current owners are leaving behind much of the pub’s equipment, so they can continue to be used if the buyer wishes to retain the building as a pub.

“However, with the demand for housing the local area, we also feel the pub could lend itself well for conversion to residential use, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission.”

The auction will be held on 23 May at Villa Park, Birmingham.
