West Midlands agent puts Stourbridge pub and microbrewery on the market

A free house pub that comes with its own microbrewery has gone on the market with a West Midlands property agent.

The Windsor Castle near Stourbridge also includes a private gin bar and four double bedrooms that could be operated as bed and breakfast lets.

The Windsor Castle, at the junction of the A4036 Pedmore Road and the A458 Stourbridge Road, has character features such as a flagstone floor, timber bar, bench seating and a Victorian-style fireplace.

The pub, which has a car park and a small beer garden, shut its doors a year ago.

At the back is The Printworks Brewery.

Originally part of Sadlers Brewery's production plant, it was re-branded in 2019 and includes a brewery, fermenting and cold rooms with capacity to produce 60 brewer’s barrels a week.

It also houses a tap room and more storage.

Siddall Jones is asking for offers over £475,000 for the pub, while the brewery equipment would be subject to a separate negotiation.

Siddall Jones Managing Director Ed Siddall-Jones said: “The Windsor Castle is a well-known local landmark, being a former free house, brewery and gin distillery and tap room.

“The property was adapted over the years to also provide lettings rooms and office space available for rental and is now available to purchase with vacant possession.

“The deceptively large ground floor trading space is configured in five distinct parts, albeit all inter-linked and flowing seamlessly.

“All areas are full of character and charm and together seat around 90, whilst still leaving plenty of standing room.”

He added: “The Windsor Castle provides a rare business opportunity, and we are expecting considerable interest.”

Last year, Birmingham-based Siddall Jones was named the top commercial agent in the West Midlands in the Estates Gazette Radius On-Demand Rankings.

The firm brokered 174 deals including sales and lettings in 2023, up from 156 the previous year when it also topped the West Midlands rankings.
