Looks like something is happening to the building ...what, I'm not sure yet. Well as I ran post the house this week I noticed a very big skip in the grounds with some rubbish in it.

It's listed as 'still available' for £750,000. Very, very few of the properties in the auction sold so the market must be really bad.

However, given the Conservation Area designation I'd be very surprised if the council would approve use for offices or hotel as the advert suggests! Goodness knows how it has been split up to give 30 rooms but I remember being told that it had been split into 'cells' when it was an old folks' home. If you took out the partitions I'm sure it would make a good family house. I think £700k is still optimistic though given the work needed. Given the planning history, I suspect the current owners were speculating on a 'hope value' that was thwarted by the planning system - applications for redevelopment with new flats never succeeded. The sellers must need to offload it so will probably need to take a bigger hit than the guide price reflects. Interesting, let’s see what happens.
