Disused Walsall office building once earmarked to become budget hotel up for sale
A derelict office building near Walsall town centre, which previously had permission to be converted into a hotel, has been put up for sale.
A guide price of £330,000 has been put on Lantern House in Lichfield Street, which is listed for sale in a Bond Wolfe property auction next month.
Described as a 'prominent town centre redevelopment opportunity', the three-storey building is currently fenced off with boarded up windows and backs onto the rear of the Morrisons supermarket. It also used to have a doctor's surgery at the rear.
Bond Wolfe's listing say it's "considered suitable for a wide variety of alternative uses subject to planning permission, permission has previously been granted for a 40-bedroom hotel".
It continues: "The property comprises a prominent double fronted part three storey building which we understand was previously used as offices and surgery.
"The property is considered suitable for a wide variety of alternative uses including wholesale development of the site. The current owners have previously obtained planning permission for a 40 bedroom budget hotel, and also undertaken initial discussions with a leading HMO provider."
Plans for a hotel were granted back in 2018.
