The property comprises an historic stone detached building, which was originally the Courthouse for Sedgley and surrounding area and believed to date from the early 19th Century. It was, before closure, the Courthouse Public House and Restaurant for many years.
The former trade areas on the ground floor are now open plan and is in a shell format. There are ancillary facilities including male and female WCs and useful basement cellar.
