Development opportunity as former pub site hits the market

A former pub site near the White Rose Shopping Centre in Leeds offering a residential development opportunity has hit the market.

On behalf of Cadman Housing Developments, specialist business property adviser Christie & Co has been instructed to market the former Merlins Pub site in Leeds.

The pub has been demolished and cleared, presenting a blank canvas for a development opportunity.

Planning permission has been secured for the development of 12 one-bedroom apartments on the 0.425-acre site. However, prospective purchasers could alternatively submit their own conversion enquiries and new ideas to Leeds City Council.

The development site is located within a busy residential estate in Middleton, two miles from White Rose Shopping Centre.

Sam Ashton, senior business agent at Christie & Co who is handling the sale, said: “We originally sold this site back in 2018, without the approved planning permission. Now this has been secured, I expect lots of interest for such a prime South Leeds development opportunity and look forward to hearing from interested parties.”

The former Merlin’s site is on the market for offers of more than £225,000.
