Former Sports And Leisure Centre, Fairfax Street, Coventry, CV1 5RY

An excellent opportunity to lease or buy one or two of Coventry's iconic leisure venues. The first is the Main Pool Hall of the former Coventry Central Baths. It is proposed that the pool voids are filled to provide a large, open and flexible floor area overlooked by the refurbished northern seating terraces to create a modern auditorium, suited to a range of uses.

The dry sports centre, which has become somewhat of an architectural icon, affectionately known as 'The Elephant' opened in 1975, as an addition to the swimming baths. Set over three floors, it currently houses a bowls hall, large multi-use sports hall with sprung floor, smaller sports hall and three squash courts. A separate new feature access is planned for 'The Elephant' which is currently reached through the main swimming baths' entrance.



Location Highlights



The leisure centre is in a highly visible location on the Coventry Ring Road. The A4053 gives excellent access to the city and to the wider motorway network. For public transport options, Pool Meadow Bus and Coach station lies less than 5 minutes' walk from the property, offering both local and national travel, and Coventry Railway Station is approximately 1.7 miles away.
