Description

The Top House is a freehold village pub in Lees, offered with four-bedroom residential accommodation above, a private beer garden and a separate commercial unit to the rear. The sale is described as sold as seen, with stock at completion and the appliances required to operate the pub included, subject to the necessary personal licences and consents. The ground floor has a central bar and open-plan trading space arranged with lounge seating, a pool area and a darts area. A private rear beer garden provides outdoor seating. The basement includes three separate rooms and a fitted beer cellar with pumps, cooling equipment and a barrel delivery arrangement from the garden. The upper-floor accommodation is arranged around an open-plan living, kitchen and dining area. The listing describes a modern fitted kitchen, a bathroom with a walk-in shower and separate bath, four double bedrooms, and a main bedroom with an en-suite and dressing area. A separate rear commercial unit, formerly used as a hairdresser, offers scope for continued commercial use or separate letting, subject to relevant permissions and consents. The property is positioned just off the route between Uppermill and Lees, with access to the wider Saddleworth and Oldham areas. Its combination of pub premises, residential space, cellar facilities, outdoor seating and additional commercial accommodation gives purchasers several possible operating approaches, although any change of use or other adaptation would require the appropriate consents.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

54out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

The Top House is a distinctive mixed-use project: a village pub with four-bedroom residential accommodation, a paved beer garden and a separate rear commercial unit. The residential areas shown appear maintained and usable, while the pub has a traditional, dated look that offers scope for a cosmetic refresh or a different trading style; the cellar’s worn flooring and exposed services merit closer inspection.

The score is a weak 54/100, with good fundamentals and location but limited price/value evidence: floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The asking price is £400,000, and the additional unit’s potential use or letting should be verified, including any permissions required.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated pub trading and seating areas to suit a chosen operating style.
  • The four-bedroom residential accommodation appears generally usable, with the kitchen and bathrooms shown in maintained condition.
  • Explore the separate rear commercial unit’s potential use or letting, subject to verification and any required permissions.

Key risks

  • The cellar has visibly worn flooring and exposed services; check the condition and safety of the cellar and commercial equipment.
  • Without a usable floor area, the asking price cannot be compared with local £/sqf, and value remains difficult to judge.
