Auction lot with conversion potential in an urban regeneration setting.
Freehold former pub with one-bedroom apartment included
An auction lot offering the former Free Bird public house with an existing one-bedroom apartment and 3,853 sq.ft of built area. The site is freehold and presented with clear scope for change of use to residential subject to obtaining planning consent — a straightforward redevelopment proposition for a developer or investor prepared to manage planning risk.
The building requires modernization and completion of a flat-roof extension; external finishes are unfinished and internal works likely needed. The plot is described as small within an overall large property context, so schemes will need to be space-efficient. Broadband is average but mobile signal is excellent, helpful during refurbishment and marketing phases.
Location factors: the site sits in a deprived, high-crime area and in a wider ‘hampered aspiration’ ward, which will influence rental values and buyer demand. Nearby amenities and multiple schools (several rated Good) provide some local support for residential conversion. Interested parties should factor in site security and potential additional costs linked to location-specific mitigation.
Sale particulars: offered for sale by auction on 14 July 2025. Bidders must allow for the usual auction timescales and checks — planning, structural survey, and costs to complete modernization and conversion. For experienced investors seeking a value-add redevelopment in an urban setting, this lot offers clear upside if planning is secured.
