A substantial Victorian public house with a two-bedroom flat above, offered as a tenanted commercial investment producing £21,000 per annum. The freehold/leasehold status is leasehold with 7 years remaining on the current lease (new lease started June 2025) and the buyer will receive immediate rental income from a secure 7-year tenancy. The building extends to approximately 3,530 sq ft on a site of about 0.086 acres and includes a rear garden/outdoor seating area.
This is an investor-focused opportunity: reliable income from day one and scope for value uplift through rent reviews, lease renegotiation, or potential residential redevelopment subject to planning (SSTP). The property sits in a predominantly residential part of Bury with good road links to the M66 and M62, nearby amenities, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Important drawbacks: the property is leasehold with only seven years left on the lease, which will restrict mortgage finance options and may deter many lenders. It will be sold by online auction on 10th September 2025 under auction terms — sale may complete quickly and is offered as seen. The area is within a very deprived wider classification, which may affect long-term trading potential for a pub operator.
