The site of a former historic Macclesfield pub has come up for sale.

What was once the old Bull & Gate pub has come on the property market.

Now used as offices by Direct Food Ingredients, the building, of 70 Waters Green, is up for sale for offers in the region of £350,000.

The listing, which went live this Monday, is being marketed as an office.

The current occupier, Direct Food Ingredients, was founded in Deansgate. They were then based at Macclesfield's Waters Green House, before their move to The Bull and Gate, confirmed in 2010.

Direct Food Ingredients is one of the UK's largest distributors of functional ingredients, additives, and chemicals. It was established in 1994 by Steve Loake, a few years before the Bull and Gate pub shut down.

The listing, penned by Macclesfield's Hallams Property Consultants reads "This unique freehold property, formerly The Bull and Gate, is a distinctive character building offering versatile commercial space.

"Currently owner-occupied and functioning as office space, the property boasts a charming period façade combined with flexible interior layouts suitable for a range of business uses.

"With ample room to accommodate modern office requirements, the building's interior maintains a balance between professional functionality and period charm. Whether you're seeking an attractive headquarters or an investment opportunity, 70 Waters Green presents an exceptional option in the heart of Macclesfield's vibrant commercial district.

"The property is located in Macclesfield town centre and benefits from a central location as well as being a short distance from the A523, the main thoroughfare in and out of Macclesfield. The A523 connects Macclesfield to nearby towns including Congleton & Stockport. Junction 18 of the M6 Motorway is also within a 30 minute drive of the property. 70 Waters Green is a 1-minute walk from the train station and benefits from a vast amount of local amenities."

The gold writing signage for the old pub can still be read on the building today.

The site was also known as Bar 108.

The impact on Direct Food Ingredients's employees, and where they might move next, is not yet known.
