Homes development at former Grade Two listed pub
A pub which called last orders for the final time in late 2014 has been transformed by a Leeds development firm into a collection of new homes.
New life was breathed into the former Crown Inn in Lowtown, Pudsey, with a £1m refurbishment. Leeds-based Bryan Properties created four apartments in the grade II listed building, as well as constructing a further three townhouses in its former rear car park.
The landmark property, which earned listed status for its facade, dates to 1833 but had stood idle since pulling pints for the final time in November 2014.
All three of the townhouses have already been sold after they were launched to market through Pudsey estate agents Linley & Simpson.
With a choice of one or two bedrooms, the four apartments are available only to let and will be ready to move into this summer.
Linley & Simpson’s Director of New Homes, David Waddington, said: “This development is a great example of how to bring an empty listed building back into viable use.
“And it’s been a real sales success story too, with all three of the townhouses bought in double-quick time.
“The sales success underlines the growing appeal of Pudsey as an up-and-coming part of Leeds to live.
“While it was sad for many to see the pub lost to the community, the development has been called Crown Place to ensure its name and place in Pudsey’s history lives on.”
Linley & Simpson recently launched an office in Pudsey – its 16th in North and West Yorkshire – after acquiring the business of Flemings Property Rentals on Robin Lane.
