Homes for sale in former pubs in England – in pictures
A Guardian property gallery showcases five homes across England that were converted from former pubs into residential properties, ranging from a Northumberland farmhouse-style house to London flats. The feature highlights how disused pubs, once community hubs, are increasingly being repurposed as housing, reflecting a wider trend of pub closures and conversions across the country.
The properties include Tosson Tower House in Great Tosson, Northumberland, a former drovers' inn with five bedrooms for £925,000; a two-bedroom flat in a converted Noah's Ark pub in Deptford, London, for £435,000; Swan House in Staines, Surrey, a six-bedroom former pub with an annexe for £1.25m; a two-bedroom house from the redeveloped Woodpecker pub in Spetisbury, Dorset, for £300,000; and a one-bedroom Islington flat in the old Langton Arms, which closed in 1989, for £500,000.

Pubs have long served as places to eat, drink and meet locally, as well as businesses. When a pub closes, its building may be sold and converted into homes, keeping the structure in use but changing its purpose.
The properties in this feature range from former coaching inns and village pubs to London pubs divided into flats. Their locations, sizes and prices vary, but each offers a glimpse of how buildings once used as public gathering places can become part of the housing market.
