A substantial Victorian former care facility on a 1.13-acre site, offered freehold by public auction with a guide price of £565,000–£575,000. The property extends to approximately 8,990 sq ft across a part-three-storey main house with basement and a large single-storey annex. It has clear re-use potential after refurbishment — previously operated as a nursing home, supported living accommodation and day centre.
The building offers flexible scope for conversion subject to planning: potential uses include residential redevelopment, training headquarters, or continuing community/healthcare provision. High ceilings, large period windows and sandstone elevations retain strong character and provide scope for attractive living or workspace layouts. External space is a major asset: in-and-out driveway, three parking areas, front and rear gardens, and outbuildings on a sizeable plot.
Buyers should note material practical issues: the building is historic (pre-1900) with assumed uninsulated sandstone walls, dated glazing and mixed EPC readings (basement C61, annex B48). The property will require significant refurbishment and modern compliance works for most alternative uses. The sale is by public auction (legal and auctioneer’s fees payable by buyer) and will not accept offers prior to the auction. Public notice/repossession details apply. Previously marketed at £765,000–£775,000, now offered at the stated guide price.
This lot will suit developers and investors seeking a prominent period property with redevelopment upside, or occupiers prepared to invest in modernization. Local services, good broadband and low crime enhance prospects, but allow for conversion costs, planning time and statutory fees in your feasibility assessment.
