Substantial former care home with Sea Views for Sale by auction
This substantial purpose-built former Retirement Home stands
in one of Bridlington's most sought-after locations, enjoying sea views from
many windows. Built in the 1960s, the
four-storey building provides over 12,000 sq ft of accommodation, including six
large communal lounges, two spacious dining rooms, a commercial kitchen, 29
single bedrooms with en-suite WC's, two large top-floor self-contained
apartments, several offices, storage rooms and sluices, numerous communal
bathrooms and WCs.
The property occupies a site of over half an acre and
includes ample off-street parking and three double garages. A large area of land that was previously the
garden of the adjacent bungalow, is also included in the sale, which enhances
the appeal of the property and presents additional opportunities for further
redevelopment. The existing building
also offers an opportunity to investors and developers to transform the
property into luxury apartments; reinstatement as a care home; or
transformation into a boutique hotel, (subject to necessary planning
consent). Before deciding to sell, the
vendors had plans drawn up for the alteration and extension of the upper floor
accommodation to create two, two-bedroom Penthouse apartments.
