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.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
