Development Opportunity for sale

The subject site extends to approximately 1 acre (0.4046 ha) and comprises a broadly rectangular parcel of land with a substantial ‘L’-shaped two-storey building centrally positioned. The property is of traditional masonry construction with brickwork elevations beneath predominantly pitched and hipped tile roofs, incorporating a mix of original and more modern extensions.
The easternmost section of the building is understood to comprise the original dwellinghouse, featuring a wrap-around lean-to veranda to the eastern and southern elevations providing covered access to pedestrian entrances. This connects to a later ‘L’-shaped extension of similar masonry construction extending westward and southward, together with a separate two-storey outbuilding of pitched roof construction located to the south-west of the main building.
Externally the site includes a non-lined tarmacadam car park accessed directly from Pannal Ash Road via a dropped kerb with the remainder of the site comprising predominantly grass-turfed areas and sections of overgrown paving, including a courtyard to the south. Boundaries are defined by mature hedging, trees and shrubbery with timber panel fencing to the north, west and south, and post and rail fencing to the eastern boundary.
Historically the property has operated as a residential care facility providing accommodation for older people within a suburban setting. The building has been largely unoccupied for a prolonged period and is considered to be in a state requiring significant refurbishment or alternatively redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents.
Overall the site presents a well-located opportunity with an established use and configuration suitable for residential, care-led or alternative development benefiting from its scale, layout and position within a desirable Harrogate suburb.
