Former pub in Newport goes up for sale and could be turned into flats

A former pub in Newport has gone up for sale and could be converted into flats. The Angel Inn on West Street in Baneswell has gone on the market for £145,000 and has recently been granted planning in principle for four flats.

The pub, which is one street over from the former home of Le Pub on Caxton Place before its move to High Street, was once a popular haunt in Newport city centre. However, it has changed hands on a number of occasions in recent years and has been closed for some time.

The existing planning application for the pub allows for a mixture of one- and two-bed flats, but it could also be retained as a pub or converted into a restaurant or shop.

Debra Bisley, of Paul Fosh Auctions, said: "Previously a public house, this property has recently been granted planning in principle for four flats. The planning application is comprised of two one bedroom flats, one two bedroom flat, and a studio apartment. However, there may be potential for the studio apartment to be a one bedroom flat, (subject to the relevant planning consent).

"Additionally, there is scope for the property to remain as a commercial building. Subject to the relevant planning permission this property could provide opportunity for a restaurant, public house or retail unit."

The next Paul Fosh Auctions sale starts at 12 noon on Tuesday, June 21 and ends at 5pm on Thursday, June 23.
