This vacant Edwardian public house sits on a prominent 0.34-acre corner plot, about one mile from Warrington town centre. The detached two-storey building (circa 546m²) includes an adjoining car park and flexible internal space, offering clear redevelopment or commercial reuse potential subject to planning consent.
The property has been vacant since June 2022 and requires comprehensive refurbishment throughout. Structural and interior works will be needed to restore trading condition or to convert the building for an alternative use. Important practical advantages include freehold tenure, low flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband speeds.
The site’s size and roadside frontage make it attractive to developers or operators seeking a town-edge location with car parking. However, the immediate area is classified as deprived with high local crime rates and constrained rental demographics, which may affect certain operators and will be relevant to planning and lending assessments.
Suitable purchasers are experienced investors or developers able to fund refurbishment or a change-of-use application. All redevelopment is subject to local planning approval; detailed surveys and pre-application advice are recommended before committing.
