Minshull Court, Minshull New Road, Crewe, Cheshire
EXCEPTIONAL RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY – APPROX. 0.68 ACRE BROWNFIELD SITE
A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial former 20-bedroom care home occupying a site extending to approximately 0.68 acres (0.28 hectares) in an established residential location.
The site previously benefited from outline planning permission for the demolition of the existing building and construction of 14 residential dwellings (11 houses and 3 apartments), providing a strong planning precedent for redevelopment, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consent.
Previous planning approvals were granted under Cheshire East planning references P07/1221, 10/3210N and 13/3724N (now lapsed), demonstrating that the principle of residential redevelopment has previously been accepted.
Ideally positioned close to Crewe town centre, Crewe Railway Station, Leighton Hospital, Bentley Motors, the A500 and M6 Junction 16, the site offers excellent connectivity for commuters and future residents.
Minshull Court sits within an area undergoing significant residential expansion, with several major housing developments either approved or under construction nearby.
This, together with the site's established planning history, reinforces its redevelopment potential and makes it an attractive proposition for any developers, housebuilders and land investors seeking their next residential scheme.
POTENTIAL TO DELIVER A GDV OF APPROX. £3.5 MILLION Estimated Development Costs: £2.2 million
(subject to purchaser's own appraisal, planning, specification and build costs)
