This is just the beginning of turning this fire-damaged property into beautiful new homes
Until this year, we had never bought a property at auction. This was an exciting yet nerve-wracking experience acquiring a property this way because, in our case, we weren’t able to view the interior before buying, and the first time we properly saw inside was after completion.
Once a 12-bedroom home for looked-after children, this property has significant fire damage.
We are now exploring the options with our architect to determine the best use of the property. This could mean three new homes or a scheme incorporating flats. Given the extent of the fire damage, we’re also exploring what other opportunities the building may offer.
The overgrown hedges and garden were restricting access to the property, so we’ve now brought in a landscaper to clear the site. It’s made a huge difference, giving us much better access and visibility.
