Landmark pub sells for £3.2m

The Flying Standard, now a Wetherspoon pub, in Trinity Street, Coventry, has been sold to a private investor for £3.225m.

The medieval-style property contains 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 and is occupied by Wetherspoon.

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 fondly-remembered 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.
