Description

The Nine Pins is a substantial former public house on a prominent site of approximately 0.6 acres in Low Fell. The property has operated as a pub since the 1970s, but has faced difficult trading conditions in recent years. The freehold is offered as an opportunity to consider refurbishment of the existing premises, an alternative commercial or community use, or redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning permissions and other consents. The accommodation includes a range of bar and lounge areas, cellar rooms, kitchen and male and female toilet facilities. There is also a separate apartment with a lounge, kitchen, bathroom and three bedrooms. Outside, the site includes a pub car park and garden and grounds. Prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries with the Local Planning Authority and verify the property’s condition, services, tenure and suitability for any proposed use.

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

At £500,000, this is a substantial Low Fell site with a prominent former pub, separate apartment accommodation, extensive parking and grounds. The dated interiors offer scope to refresh the pub and apartment, while the site also presents options for alternative use or redevelopment, subject to planning and other consents. The floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged; that data gap, alongside the project’s condition and average location score, contributes to a weak overall WHOTS grade.

Key opportunities

  • Refurbish the dated pub interiors and apartment to suit a new operating or residential vision.
  • Make better use of the approximately 0.6-acre site, extensive parking and grounds.
  • Explore alternative commercial or community use, or redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents.

Key risks

  • Dark discolouration on lower cellar walls and exposed services warrant investigation.
  • The grounds and planting are overgrown in places, and the car park surface and markings show wear.
