Sold After Auction

Property Description:

Situated in a prominent location on London Road close to Pride Park, the sale of this substantial vacant former school with large car park and extensive accommodation represents a very exciting opportunity.

Previously a high yielding investment being let as 16 individual suites, this property could either be re-let to generate high levels of income, be used for an alternative commercial use or indeed converted to residential use. The substantial car park to the rear could potentially provide space for extension or new build, all subject to obtaining the necessary planning consent.

The property is handily situated approximately a mile and half south east of the city centre and within half a mile of Pride Park.

Please be advised that the auctioneers have not personally inspected the property. Prospective buyers are advised to make a viewing enquiry and any other necessary independent enquiries before placing their bid, as this will be binding.

Potential

The property may be suitable for alternative uses, subject to obtaining the necessary consents. Prospective buyers must make all necessary independent enquiries in this respect for their specific, intended use prior to placing their bid, as this will be binding.

Freehold. Vacant possession upon completion.
