Description

Offered at auction, this freehold Edwardian property occupies a plot of approximately 0.58 acres and provides about 6,314 sq ft of accommodation over four floors. Formerly used as a care home, it is now offered with vacant possession. The building retains period features and has a full-length balcony along the sides and rear, while the elevated site has views across the valley, two vehicle access points and off-street parking. The EPC is rated D and the council tax band is F. The listing states that full planning permission has been granted for conversion of the existing building into seven self-contained flats, together with two new detached houses on the grounds and associated parking and access works. The agent cites a development appraisal with a projected GDV of £4.5 million or more; this is an agent-provided figure and should be independently assessed. The legal pack and approved plans should be checked for the detailed consent and obligations. Other options described include reinstating the property as a large home, potentially with an annexe or office space, or considering a different apartment layout. Continued commercial use or an HMO is also suggested in the listing, subject to any required consents. The property is being sold by live online auction, with telephone, proxy and online bidding described by the agent.

Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

Newbridge Towers is a distinctive Edwardian building with a tower, wraparound balcony, period fireplaces and cornices, set in mature grounds with elevated valley views. The asking price of £1,000,000 is exceptionally low against the local £/sqf benchmark, making this a notable acquisition opportunity. The listing says consent has been granted for seven flats in the existing building and two new houses on the grounds; its stated £4.5m GDV is the agent’s claim, not an independent valuation. That points to substantial development upside against the asking price, with purchase and works considered in the all-in view.

The interiors are visibly adapted for care use, with worn finishes and institutional fittings, so this is a heavy conversion rather than a cosmetic update. The period character, scale and grounds give a buyer scope to reshape the building around the consented scheme, subject to checking the planning details, feasibility and the building itself. The exterior appears broadly maintained in the photos, but roof, masonry and balcony need close inspection. This is an auction sale: bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the substantial Edwardian building for the consented seven-flat scheme, retaining and showcasing features such as the tower, balcony, bay windows and period fireplaces.
  • The 0.58-acre grounds and two vehicular accesses provide scope for the two consented new houses while making use of the established planting and paved areas.
  • The scale and layout also offer a distinctive alternative to the consented scheme, including the family-home or larger-apartment possibilities described in the listing.

Key risks

  • Care-home adaptations, worn finishes and the scale of the building make this a heavy conversion programme: allow for a full interior rebuild and careful coordination of the existing-building works with the new houses, not a cosmetic refresh.
  • Verify the planning consent, development feasibility and the agent’s stated GDV independently; the commercial kitchen and accessible bathrooms are not a residential fit-out.
