Former West Yorkshire pub car park could be transformed into underground house - and you could live there

A former pub car park is up for sale – complete with planning permission to transform it into an underground house.

The Pineapple pub, on the A655 at Warmfield, has already been transformed into a “stunning family home” – and now there are plans to transform its adjacent car park, measuring nearly 600 sq metres, into an underground house, enjoying far-reaching views over the countryside.

Estate agent Yorkshire’s Finest, which is marketing the site, said: “The current owners of the car park felt it was an eyesore within green belt land.

“Their vision was to pursue planning permission to create a bespoke, unique and energy efficient home that would enhance the immediate and surrounding area, while not spoiling the green belt – the underground house was born.

“The current design of the underground house is a four-bedroom property with a spacious, open-plan, living area that would include a kitchen, dining area, lounge and family area with one-way glass bi-folding or sliding doors out into the garden.

“The current car park would be upper level of the house, making the property seem almost non-existent from the roadside.”

The site is on the market for sale for offers in the region of £165,000.
