A substantial freehold redevelopment opportunity in Towcester, set on a self-contained 1.05-acre corner plot with extensive grounds and on-site parking. The former Ridgeway House is a mid-20th century, two-storey brick building formerly used as a care home, with a footprint and internal layout suited to continued care use or alternative commercial/residential conversion, subject to planning.
The building offers large rooms and institutional accommodation across ground and first floors, plus garage, garden and vehicle access directly from Swinneyford Road. The site is particularly notable for its size relative to the surrounding residential suburb, giving scope for a range of schemes (subdivision, redevelopment or refurbishment) where consent allows. Transport connections are good — the A5 and M1 are nearby, with rail services from Northampton and Milton Keynes within about 11 miles.
Buyers should expect refurbishment and statutory consents to be required for most alternative uses. The building is flat-roofed and institutional in construction, so further costs for roof, services upgrade and internal reconfiguration are likely. Tenure is unknown and will need confirmation. No flood risk is recorded; broadband and mobile signal are good.
