General information and approach The Tontine is an impressive Georgian building overlooking the River Severn. Built around 1772 for the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal Company. The Tontine would have been such an elegant building in its heyday. With 100 bedrooms for paying guests as well as a ballroom. The Directors, Committee and principal shareholders would conduct their business here before enjoying lavish banquets and the finest alcohol bought up the river from Bristol. No money was spared at the time however this was short lived as the railway arrived in 1862 and the river and canal trade declined! By 1880, the hotel was broken up into dwellings and the once impressive inn was now of little importance.
The property has had several names changes over its history. The Stourport Inn, the Areley Inn and The Tontine Hotel by which it is still known today.
The Wolverhampton and Dudley brewery whom owned it in 1977 submitted plans to demolish the Tontine for redevelopment as only a small proportion of the building remained open as a pub. It stood empty and unloved. However the plans were rejected. The external façade of the building was not be be changed as it gained Grade ll listed status.
The Tontine finally closed as a pub in 2001 when it was sold to a developer with plans to convert this historic building. It remained boarded up until purchased by British Waterways.
The hotel was sympathetically converted into apartments yet remains an important building within the regenerated Lichfield Basins.
And after the history Hayden Estates are delighted to bring to the market this little piece of history. A wonderful ground floor apartment. Having its own front door, original double wooden doors to the pub. Boasting fitted kitchen, spacious reception room, with a most impressive electric wood burning look a like fire providing a real focal point to this room. One double bedroom and en suite shower room.
All windows are secondary glazed. There is no gas in the property. Chrome fronted light switches and sockets.
Viewings are necessary to fully appreciate this property. Ideal for a holiday home or for those looking to enjoy a slower pace of life. Amenities include, eateries, supermarkets, independent shops, chemist, doctors surgery to name just a selection.
There are 14 apartments with each owner having a 1/14 share of the Freehold. Currently each property is paying £1850 each year, payable in 2 lots. This is to cover maintenance building insurance and ground rent.
Fantastic location close to the town centre of Stourport, having the Canal Basin to frontage. Stourport has one of the country's largest inland marinas. A delight to see the canal barges, moored around the basin. The clock tower visible from a distance stands serenely. The barges as they encounter the locks.
At the rear is the River Severn. Perfect to enjoy the flora and fauna and of course town centre living.
