Commercial Development in DN32

For Sale Via Online Auction. Fees Apply.

This striking and extensive period residence occupies a prominent corner position overlooking the picturesque People’s Park, offering an impressive and highly versatile opportunity for a range of future uses. Formerly operated as a children’s care facility, the property still retains a wealth of charming original features including sash windows, fireplaces, decorative woodwork and generous bay frontages. Its scale, layout and character all lend themselves perfectly to sympathetic conversion.

Internally, the accommodation is arranged over several floors and provides a substantial footprint throughout. The ground floor offers multiple well-proportioned reception rooms, several bedrooms, wash rooms, WC facilities, access to the lift, and a kitchen. The first floor continues with an extensive range of bedrooms, ensuite bath and shower rooms, additional living spaces and storage areas, providing excellent flexibility for alternative layouts. The second floor provides further generous bedroom accommodation together with a communal bathroom and an additional self-contained kitchen, making the upper level suitable for a variety of residential or supported-living uses.

Given its size, elegance and commanding position, the property is ripe for conversion back into a substantial family home, or alternatively into self-contained flats, an HMO, or continued commercial use (subject to the necessary planning consents). Few properties of this scale and character come to the market, and this represents a rare opportunity for developers, investors or owner-occupiers to shape this striking building to their own requirements.

ONLINE AUCTION NOTICE

I hereby acknowledge and confirm the following:

My bid may be accepted by the seller at any time before the close of the auction. It is subject to the terms and conditions of the auction which I have read and understood. I have read and understood the legal pack applicable to my bid/lot and agree to be bound by any special conditions within that pack.

If my bid is successful (whether as the highest bid or upon acceptance by the seller in the course of the auction) I shall be bound by the lot terms and conditions as advertised online.

Any amount payable at the close of the auction must be paid within 1 hour.

Please note that the bidding process will work in a different way to an eBay auction, so there is NO advantage to bidding at the last second.

Each auction will automatically stay open until there has not been a bid within the final 10 minutes. If no bid has been submitted within the final 10 minutes of the auction, the auction will close and the highest bidder will be successful subject to the reserve price being met or upon acceptance of an offer by the seller throughout the auction cycle. If there is another bid within 10 minutes of the last bid, the auction countdown timer will be restarted for another 10 minutes to allow further bidding. This system avoids last-minute (or second) bidding and makes for a fairer auction as in a live-room auction situation.

Please bid in good time before the end of the auction, delaying your bid to the last seconds may disadvantage you if your connection slows or you lose internet connectivity.

The auctioneer is not responsible for any tech issues, power outage or error messages which hampers or eliminates an individual's opportunity to bid.

It is the bidder's responsibility to ensure the bid has been lodged with the auctioneer. It is therefore beneficial to bid on your chosen lot at your earliest opportunity.

The auctioneer accepts no responsibility for bids that are not received or are received late and reserves the right to reject any bid without notice.

Minimum online bidding increments:
£50,000 - £250 minimum bid
