Former special school Skilts School up for auction at £1.4m

Property Details

The freehold site covers 11.17 acres (4.52 hectares) and includes a detached bungalow. The main building dates back to the late 17th century and features a mix of two- and three-storey accommodation, retaining original architectural characteristics. However, it is not listed and is in poor condition, requiring significant refurbishment, according to Bond Wolfe.

The property also includes a site manager's house, two residential blocks, and a gym block, which may be suitable for various uses or redevelopment subject to planning consent. The site is accessed via a private road included in the sale, with tarmac and gravel parking areas and pathways linking ancillary buildings. A reed bed and sewage treatment works are also included.
