Alternatively the property could have a continued use as a residential care home, or subject to planning could be used as a guest house/hotel. There is a one bedroom owners accommodation ideal for any prospective purchasers to run as a guest house/hotel.

There is potential to extend above the two storey (subject to the necessary planning consents) to accommodate further lettable rooms.

It is also felt that there is also potential to build a separate owners accommodation detached house in the grounds (subject to the necessary planning consents) in a similar location to where the timber chalet is presently situated.

This may also appeal to developers or someone wishing to own a large grand property for residential purposes. This would also appeal to an investor wishing to rent this property out as a house of multiple occupancy where you could expect to achieve somewhere in the region of £250 per room potentially giving a gross income of circa £30,000 pa
