A rare, very large Victorian property with planning consent to convert the former care home into a nursery for up to 133 children. The site spans two floors and includes a central courtyard plus additional land to the front and rear, well suited to outdoor play areas and secure drop-off space. Full plans are available on request.
This is a clear development opportunity for an operator or investor seeking an alterative use in a town location; nearby Good-rated primary and secondary schools strengthen demand for childcare places. Utilities and connectivity are strong — excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — and the site sits in a low flood-risk area.
The building is currently dilapidated and will require comprehensive renovation and remediation before reoccupation: windows are boarded, interiors are presented as a care home and external spaces are overgrown. Prospective buyers must factor refurbishment costs and any statutory compliance work into acquisition budgets. Leasehold and freehold options are offered; consultees should review tenure details and planning documents before offer.
