Description

The Nine Pins Public House, Saltwell Road South, Low Fell, prominent freehold property extending to approximately 0.6 acres, offering an exciting range of potential opportunities for renovation, redevelopment or alternative use, subject to the necessary planning consents. The Nine Pins Public House occupies a well-established position on Saltwell Road South in Low Fell and has served the local community as a public house since the 1970s. Having operated as a public house for many decades, the property has more recently experienced challenging trading conditions, with the premises having struggled as a public house over the last 15 years. As a result, the opportunity now presents itself for a new owner, investor or developer to consider the property’s future and unlock its considerable potential. Offering prospective purchasers a number of options. These could include the refurbishment of the existing public house, the introduction of an alternative commercial or community use, or potentially a fresh redevelopment of the site, subject in each case to obtaining any necessary planning permissions and other relevant consents. With its established location, generous site area and prominent position, The Nine Pins represents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a substantial development site within Low Fell. Gordon Brown Estate Agents have been appointed to seek a new owner or developer who can bring forward an exciting vision for the property and give this long-established site a new lease of life. The property is expected to appeal to a range of purchasers, including developers, investors, owner-occupiers and public house operators, looking for a site with scope to create something new within an established residential area. - CONTINUED
