The property offers excellent potential for a wide variety of future uses. Options include conversion to an HMO, self-contained flats, a children’s nursery or other C2 uses. In addition, the land to the side of the building presents an attractive development opportunity with scope for an additional house or up to four flats, subject to the necessary consents.
Situated on one of Southville’s most sought-after roads, this is an exceptional chance to secure a substantial and versatile landmark building with extensive redevelopment and investment potential.

DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL -
The property offers potential for a variety of different potential uses including:
15-BEDROOM HMO
We would anticipate a potential rental income of circa £135,000 per annum (average of £750 pcm per room).
CONVERSION TO 4 LARGE FLATS
The existing building offers potential for conversion into four self-contained 2-bedroom flats. We would anticipate a GDV in the region of £1,700,000 (average of £425,000 per flat).
ERECTION OF 4 FLATS ON LAND TO THE SIDE
The land to the side of the existing building offers scope for the erection of four new self-contained 1-bedroom flats. On the basis planning can be obtained for such a scheme, we would anticipate an additional GDV of circa £1,100,000 (average of £275,000 per flat).
CONVERSION TO A SINGLE FAMILY HOME
The property offers potential to create one of the finest family homes in the area. We would anticipate a market value in the region of £1,500,000 if finished to a high standard.
All development options would be subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents and interested parties should make their own enquiries with the local planning authority.
