The property comprises a detached single storey former health centre plus grounds which extends to approximately 0.456 hectares (1.126 acres). The
existing building lends itself for potential change of use and sub-division into two or more dwellings and the western end of the site may afford further development potential, subject to obtaining all necessary consents. The whole site falls within the development boundary of the town, and there is an existing access off Western Road (currently fenced). The former hospital adjacent has been converted into flats a number of years ago. It is suggested that the existing buildings could be split into flats/bungalows or houses (if height allows). Please note there is currently no residential planning permissions on any of the buildings or land.
