Back on the market - former Longridge pub for sale again just days after housing plans passed

A former pub building is back on the market - with a £100,000 price drop - days after permission was secured to turn it into housing.

Just days after plans were approved to convert it into housing, a former Longridge pub has gone back on the market.

Dewhurst Homes Holding Company Ltd was given permission on April 7 to turn the now-closed White Bull at Alston into three dwellings, ‘with access, landscaping and associated works’.

The pub, which sits on Preston Road between Longridge and Grimsargh and was known for it’s food, closed its doors in December 2023, with a note placed on its website reading: “Closed until further notice. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and hope to welcome you all back soon!”

The building was then offered for sale in October 2024 by agent Trevor Dawson, for £575,000.

Now it’s back on the market with the same company - but now with planning permission - for £100,000 less at £475,000. The agent states it is an “exclusive Ribble Valley location one mile from Longridge town centre amenities.”
