Middle Street North, Driffield, YO25

A superb opportunity toacquire this former pub on plot of 0.29 acres (approx) in the centre ofDriffield which benefits from planning permission to convert it to 4 townhouses with permission for 2 further semi-detached houses in the reargrounds.  The desirable location next to the church and close to thecentre of this thriving town means it is sure to attract considerable interest.

The Red Lion is a three-storybuilding and the planning permission granted allows for its redevelopment into4 town houses with rear extensions to each from the current structure. They would consist of 3 three-bedroom properties (one with a gamesroom) and 1 four bedrooms. Each would have a rear garden of varioussizes and 2 parking spaces within the grounds at the rear that can be accessedvia Church Lane.  Further information can be seen via the Public Accessarea of the East Yorkshire Council Planning Portal with the applicationNo/23/00022/PLF. Currently, there is a 3 bed living accommodation currently existing on the top floor which used to be the former pubs managers flat. 

In 2025 permission wasgranted for the construction of two new build 2 story 2 bedroom semi-detachedproperties on the southwestern side of the plot.  These two-bedroomproperties would have reasonable sized gardens with a home office and one parkingspace each.   Further information can be seen by via the Public Accessarea of the East Yorkshire Council Planning Portal with the applicationNo/25/00767PLF/PLF.

Given the size of theproperty, its outside space as well as its location a range of other uses forthe property may be of interest to potential purchasers (subject to necessarypermissions).

Early viewing is essential tofully appreciate the potential of the site and the existing buildings thoughour 360 degree tour will provide an excellent insight in the first instance.
