Full description
A superb development opportunity on a plot of 0.29 acres (approx) in the centre of Driffield, East Yorkshire. The desirable location next to the church and close to the town centre offers considerable potential. The Red Lion is a three-storey former pub. Planning permission has been granted to convert it into 4 townhouses with rear extensions from the current structure. These would comprise 3 three-bedroom properties (one with a games room) and 1 four-bedroom property. Each would have a rear garden of various sizes and 2 parking spaces within the grounds at the rear, accessible via Church Lane. Further information can be found via the Public Access area of the East Yorkshire Council Planning Portal with application No/23/00022/PLF. In 2025, additional permission was granted for the construction of two new build 2-storey, 2-bedroom semi-detached properties on the southwestern side of the plot. These two-bedroom properties would have reasonably sized gardens with a home office and one parking space each. Further information can be found via the Public Access area of the East Yorkshire Council Planning Portal with application No/25/00767PLF. Currently, there is a 3-bed living accommodation on the top floor, which was formerly the pub manager's flat.

The town provides an extensive range of shops, pubs, restaurants and other local amenities, with further shopping and facilities in nearby Beverley and Bridlington, and at greater distance in York and Hull.
