Semi DetachedDescription
The former Bay Horse is a substantial stone-built property in Haslingden, offered as a major renovation project. The listing describes four bedrooms, generous reception areas and flexible internal space, while the structured property details record five bedrooms. Original features noted in the description include exposed stonework, traditional fireplaces and high ceilings.
The interior has been stripped back, leaving extensive work for a purchaser to plan and complete. The building could be considered for restoration as a distinctive home or for other uses, subject to the necessary planning permissions and statutory consents. Buyers should investigate the building's condition, services, layout and consent requirements before proceeding.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
The former Bay Horse is a characterful stone-built project with generous spaces, fireplaces and exposed masonry to build a distinctive home around. But this is a heavy, stripped-back job: damaged ceilings and floors, unfinished service areas, staining in several areas and a neglected rear yard all point to a substantial programme rather than a cosmetic refresh. The 41/100 E grade reflects weak investability, while the building’s scale and original character still give the project a clear appeal for someone ready to take it on.
At £225,000, value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged because the floor area is missing. The size and layout also need careful design and verification before assuming how the former pub can work as a home.
Key opportunities
- Use the large reception-like spaces and generous proportions to design a distinctive residential layout, subject to verification.
- Restore the stonework, traditional fireplaces and high ceilings as defining features in a character-led home.
- Rework the stripped interior and improve the uneven rear yard as part of a coordinated transformation.
Key risks
- Stripped interiors, damaged ceilings and floors, and unfinished service areas make this a heavy full-interior programme; plan for substantial time and coordination, not a cosmetic refresh.
- Staining across several areas and exposed roof structure warrant investigation; roof-covering condition cannot be confirmed from the exterior views.
- Boarded openings and the neglected rear elevation and yard need inspection and repair assessment.
