Landmark Leicester pub closed down and put on the market

 

One of Leicester's most distinctive pubs has been closed down and put on the market. The Counting House in Freemen's Common, is a large, Grade II listed building now looking for new owners.

Located between the King Power Stadium and the Leicester Tigers Welford Road ground, it was popular with sports fans, as well as being close to the city's Morrisons supermarket, Nandos and McDonald's restaurants and the Odeon cinema.

 

However, the future of the site is now up in the air after WTS Commercial confirmed the pub had closed down and the landmark site is now up for sale. Sales documents suggest the iconic building could be divided up for would-be buyers.

 

In their advert, WTS Commercial said The Counting House, in Almond Road, spans 0.38 acres and comes with accommodation, parking spaces as well as seating for 110 people. Rental offers on the site will be considered according to the sales documents.

 

The advert said: "The Counting House is a large single-storey Grade II listed detached property of brick construction beneath various pitched and hipped roofs with a tall clock tower. The ground floor comprises of an open plan trading area which can accommodate around 60 covers plus a large bar servery. There is a further seating area for around 50 covers located in the middle of the building which benefits from a glazed frontage.

 

Ancillary areas include customer WC's (including disabled), catering kitchen with a dumb waiter to the basement and a large basement cellar with an office, staff room, staff WC's, boiler room, large beer store and various storage areas. The private accommodation is located at ground floor level and comprises of two bedrooms, lounge, domestic kitchen, office and a bathroom."

 

WTS says offers are being invited for the landmark Leicester site. More information can be found online.
