Description
TO BE SOLD BY ONLINE AUCTION ON 10TH SEPTEMBER 2025 UNLESS SOLD SOLD PRIOR UNDER AUCTION TERMS
Former Red Lion Pub, 107 Westleigh Lane, Leigh, WN7 5JR
A rare and exciting redevelopment opportunity for developers and investors alike. The former Red Lion public house occupies a generous corner plot in a well-established residential area and offers substantial development potential (subject to planning permission).
The pub alone extends to approximately 2,752 sq. ft (255.7 sq. m) across two floors and includes a former ground floor trading area, a self-contained four-bedroom flat above, and various outbuildings to the rear. This measurement reflects the building footprint only—the overall site is significantly larger, offering extensive redevelopment potential beyond the existing structure, subject to planning permission. The building is in a derelict condition, with the roof, floors, partitions, and windows all requiring full replacement, making it more suited to redevelopment than renovation.
Architect-led feasibility designs have been drawn up and include:
Option 1: 3 × two-storey 2-bed family homes, each with private gardens and central parking access
Option 2: A mixed-use scheme with 2 houses plus 4 × 1-bed apartments
Option 3: A 6-bed HMO layout with 2 additional homes (subject to full surveys and planning)
**VIRTUAL VIEWING AVAILABLE**
The property is situated in a popular and established residential area of Leigh with good access to local shops, schools, and services. It’s close to Leigh town centre and well connected by road, with the A580 East Lancs Road nearby for routes to Manchester, Warrington and Liverpool.
The area is in demand for housing and has seen steady redevelopment, making it a strong location for residential or mixed-use projects.
