The former Hook and Parrot pub in Seaton has been put up for sale for £1.4million.

The dilapidated pub on The Esplanade has stood empty and derelict for several years, but planning permission was recently granted to demolish the building and replace it with a new bar and restaurant with nine apartments above and underground parking.

Owners W&L South Coast Investments Ltd, who purchased the property from Trust Inns in 2020, had commissioned the plans. They indicated at the time that the new bar and restaurant will be leased to the owners of existing popular restaurants SWIM, in Lyme Regis, and Rise, in West Bay, who will develop the interior of the commercial unit.

It is not known if this is still the case, as the site is now up for sale for £1.4million with KLP Kitchner Land & Planning.

The listing describes the site as a "prime redevelopment site situated in a stunning sea front position adjacent to the town centre".

The Hook & Parrot was one of the first buildings to be constructed at the western end of the Esplanade in a distinctly Victorian style, and has always been a tavern, but the building has undergone significant changes over the years.

The pub has remained closed for some time with the building falling into disrepair.
