PlotDescription
Offered at auction, the former Robin Hood public house occupies a site of approximately 0.213 hectares (0.525 acres) on the south side of the A422. Planning permission is stated to have been granted for demolition of the existing building and construction of a self-build detached four-bedroom house. The particulars also refer to possible further development, subject to the necessary consents; planning feasibility and the scope of any additional scheme should be checked independently.
Buckingham town centre and the University of Buckingham are within reach. Milton Keynes Central station is approximately 13.7 miles away, with services to London Euston, Birmingham New Street and Liverpool Lime Street. The A422 provides connections towards the M40 and M1, and Stowe Gardens is nearby. Viewing arrangements and further particulars are available through the auctioneers.

35out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a heavy project with a distinctive route to value: the listing says planning permission has been granted to demolish the former pub and build a self-build four-bedroom detached house on a site of about 0.525 acres. The existing pub is cluttered and worn, with commercial fittings, tired finishes and overgrown outdoor areas, so this is a substantial redevelopment rather than a cosmetic refresh. The consent and its conditions need checking, and the property fronts the A422.
At £300,000, the price cannot yet be judged against local £/sqf because the floor area is missing. The overall score is low, with limited economics data and weak investability tempering the appeal of the site and consent.
Key opportunities
- Use the stated demolition and self-build consent as the basis for creating a four-bedroom detached home; verify the permission and conditions before proceeding.
- The approximately 0.525-acre site offers scope to shape the replacement home's setting and improve the neglected outdoor areas.
- The former pub's existing commercial layout and fittings can give way to a purpose-designed domestic scheme.
Key risks
- Cluttered, worn interiors and commercial fittings make this a heavy demolition and rebuild programme, requiring time and cash for a full replacement scheme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- The property fronts the A422, which may affect noise and the design of the replacement home's setting.
