A former night-spot and hotel overlooking Morecambe Bay has been sold.
The Queens was due to go under the hammer again at an online auction last Wednesday, at a guide price of £250,000 plus fees.
But auctioneers Auction House North West said the premises - which was Lot 86 - was sold prior to auction to an un-named buyer.
The Queens at 273-274 Marine Road Central, which has been closed for more than a decade, went under the hammer on January 14 for a guide price of £275,000 plus fees, but was unsold.
The 19th century Grade II listed venue has been shut for more than a decade but was a popular hotel and nightclub in its heyday.
Ahead of the auction, Auction House North West said: "The Queens Hotel, 273–274 Marine Road Central, presents a significant seafront redevelopment and investment opportunity in one of Morecambe’s most high-profile locations.
"Set directly on the promenade with uninterrupted views across the bay, the property occupies a substantial footprint and offers exceptional scope for investors, developers or operators looking to capitalise on the town’s rapidly evolving landscape. Its prominent position, generous internal layout and strong frontage make it suitable for a wide variety of future uses with relevant permissions.
"The building lends itself particularly well to full redevelopment or a comprehensive repositioning scheme.
"Its scale and configuration mean it could be transformed into a modern hotel operation, an apart-hotel concept, high-quality residential accommodation or a mixed-use development, all subject to the necessary planning consents.
"The current owner has had plans drawn which are available upon request."
The Queens has also been known as Pacha's and Baroque during its history.
St Laurence's Church on Edward Street in Morecambe town centre was also listed for the same auction last Wednesday as Lot 96, but was unsold.
The Grade II listed church, built in the 1870s and designed by architects Paley and Austin, has been closed for more than 40 years.
Auction House North West have a guide price listed of £110,000 plus fees.
They describe it as a "vacant church located in the heart of Morecambe close to the potential site of the proposed Eden Project" and "the property could have a number of futures uses once relevant planning consents are obtained".
