A rare freehold opportunity: a single-storey prefabricated building with 3,318 sq ft GIA and substantial external play space, previously operated as a nursery. The site sits to the rear of the Collonades Retail Park (access via the retail park licence) and will be sold with vacant possession. Offers are invited in excess of £200,000; a bid deadline is set for 12pm Thursday 3rd July 2025.
The asset suits an investor or childcare operator seeking an affordable entry into the Croydon market with immediate redevelopment or reopening potential. The fenced outdoor area includes playground equipment and mature trees, providing a safe, secluded play environment. The location benefits from excellent mobile signal, close public transport and nearby amenities including shops, cafés and a hotel trade that generate footfall.
Important considerations: the building is a prefabricated single-storey structure and will likely require refurbishment, mechanical or electrical upgrades and ongoing maintenance to meet current standards for childcare use. Broadband speeds are slow and the immediate neighbourhood records higher crime rates and very high area deprivation, which could affect staffing and demand profiles. Access is dependent on a licence through the retail park; prospective buyers should confirm access rights and planning requirements with the London Borough of Croydon before bidding.
