Description
This property presents an exceptional redevelopment opportunity in the charming hamlet of Waterside. Previously a sizeable public house, it now awaits full renovation and revitalization on a substantial plot of approximately 0.25 acres, ideal for conversion or new development (subject to securing planning permission). The location benefits from its scenic rural surroundings while being conveniently close to a retail park and major transport links, including Junction 6 of the M18 motorway. The former establishment includes various areas such as a main bar, snug seating, dining spaces, kitchen facilities, and a self-contained three-bedroom flat on the first floor, all of which require comprehensive refurbishment. This level of renovation offers the potential to create a unique residence or commercial venture while taking advantage of the local amenities including schools, shops, dining options, and outdoor recreational activities nearby.

43out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £235,000, this detached former pub offers a substantial, characterful building on an approximately 0.25-acre plot, with a large forecourt and scope to explore a new use or layout. The listing describes redevelopment or conversion potential subject to planning, but feasibility is not established. The exterior is visibly weathered, with local deterioration around some wall bases and boundary sections, and the full-renovation requirement points to a heavy project; the interior condition cannot be judged from the available photos.
Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot be judged yet. The score is held back by limited condition and economics information, while the location and fundamentals are stronger aspects of the opportunity.
Key opportunities
- The former bar, snug, dining areas and extensive storage provide a distinctive starting point for rethinking the building’s layout and use.
- The detached building’s substantial frontage and approximately 0.25-acre plot offer scope to explore a broader site plan, subject to planning and feasibility.
- The large hard-surfaced forecourt already provides a generous parking or access area to factor into a future design.
Key risks
- The described full-renovation project, combined with weathered render and local deterioration around wall bases and boundary sections, calls for a heavy programme; plan for a substantial rebuild rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be assessed.
