Commercial property agency Siddall Jones, which has offices in Birmingham and Dudley, marketed and sold Drayton Court Hotel, in Fazeley, near Tamworth, for £1.25 million to a property trader who plans to convert the building and rent it to a specialist care provider.
Youth players, triallists and staff from Aston Villa were regular guests at the hotel, parts of which date back to the 1780s, as the club’s academy and training ground at Bodymoor Heath is only a few miles away.
