Large freehold site with parking and strong redevelopment potential for investors.
Prominent Victorian sandstone building with tall chapel ceilings
A substantial two‑storey detached sandstone building in central Blackhill, offered freehold with a generous footprint of 266 sq m (2,862 sq ft) and a 0.381 acre site. The property retains Victorian Gothic character, tall ceilings and spacious rooms from its former chapel use, plus ample private parking and a side garden — attributes that suit conversion, community use or commercial redevelopment (subject to consent).
The building is currently occupied as a day‑care and residential support facility and will be sold with vacant possession. Part of the first floor was boarded off at inspection and could not be accessed; interested buyers should allow for a full internal survey. Measurements were taken from a third‑party EPC and should be independently verified.
This lot is offered at auction with a guide price of £200,000+, a buyer’s administration fee of £2,400 (including VAT), and a confidential reserve which may be up to 10% above the guide. The site sits in a deprived local area with slow broadband but good public transport and strong local amenities — an attractive location for social investment, community projects, or rental conversion where grants or local demand exist.
Works likely required include internal refurbishment, services checks (EPC data source only), and planning consent for alternative uses. The property’s scale, character details and parking provision create clear development potential for an investor or developer prepared to manage consent, refurbishment costs and local market considerations.
