Summary
The building is an existing brick structure comprising ground to fourth floors, giving five storeys in total. Architectural drawings show the formation of multiple self-contained flats on each level arranged around a central stair and lobby. The plans include a clear legend identifying existing partitions, removals and new wall linings, with separating walls between flats highlighted. Structural
notes confirm that bending, shear, bearing and deflection are all within permissible limits for the proposed members, and reference is made to a precast beam-and-block floor system. Site works
indicate that strip-out is complete, stud partitions are being formed, and roof-level works retain historic timber trusses.
Site & Building Description
The property is a character brick building fronting Lord Street within an urban town-centre setting. External context shows neighbouring redevelopment activity and an adjacent vacant structure. The primary building displays red brick facades with stone dressings and a traditional slate roof. Internally, original timber beams and brick walls are visible following strip-out. New studwork is being installed to form apartment layouts.
Scope of Works (as indicated on plans)
The works involve the formation of self-contained residential units on the ground, first, second, third and fourth floors. They include the installation of new partitions, alterations to existing timber and stud partitions, and the removal of selected existing walls as shown on the plans. New kitchens and living rooms are positioned on principal elevations, with bedrooms and shower/WC clusters located off the central core. Structural strengthening is planned with the introduction of new members to suit the revised layouts and floors, including precast beam-and-block elements where required. The existing single protected stair will continue to serve all levels, with lobbies and flat entrances accessed from the stairwell.
Accommodation Notes
Room annotations on the drawings indicate typical one-bedroom apartment arrangements per floor. From the legible labels, typical Kitchen and Living spaces range approximately between 17 and 26 square metres, while bedroom spaces are generally between 13 and 16 square metres. Exact areas should be read from the original high-resolution drawings, with each plan drawn at a scale of 1:50.
Key Risks & Notes
The drawings provided are low-resolution screenshots and should not be scaled for construction. All dimensions, room numbers and areas must be verified against the original CAD or PDF
drawings. Historic building fabric is present, and any intrusive works should be reviewed by structural and heritage consultants.
Please note- Preston City Council have made the decision to demolish their Property formally known as the Theibarn Pub due to its condition date for demolition is 05/01/2026. A meeting with the council confirmed they have no plans for development of the site and will consider selling to the freeholder of this building with the consent of the councillors. This is great news as the land, if bought by the freeholder would benefit in it adding more apartments than any other developer can add with our owning our freehold due to all the windows we have facing on the same side as the pub
