Property for sale

The Croft, Hooke Hill, Freshwater, Isle Of Wight PO40

The Croft served the local community for many years as a residential care home registered for 22 live in residents though the owners preferred to work with 20 occupied bedrooms for the sake of improved space and comfort requirements for their residents. The property was developed in three stages with the original house at the front of the site offering accommodation on two floors. Subsequently two extensions were added which significantly increase the footprint of the property as can be viewed in our aerial photography.

The Croft has been closed as a care home for some years due to retirement with the current owner continuing to live in the owner's accommodation within the building. It is considered that the property offers scope and potential for a number of future uses subject to all necessary consents being obtainable. Alternatively, site redevelopment may be a further option that prospective purchases may wish to consider subject to all the necessary consents being obtainable.

Accommodation
22 bedrooms, many with en-suite facilities, three communal lounges, kitchen, laundry room, dining room and office/conservatory, three further bath/shower rooms.

Outside
Substantial car parking area to the front and side, space for numerous vehicles in a courtyard garden side garden in need of cultivation.

Auctioneer's Note
In addition to the outside space detailed above as can be viewed from the identification plan in the sales particulars, there is a long strip of land running to the southeast of The Croft. The current owner has had previously entered into negotiations with three neighbouring home owners with a view to transferring this land in sections to these home owners in return for a fee of £10,000 per parcel with the purchaser also meeting legal fees. This information is passed on as described to us by the current owner and prospective purchasers should of course rely on their own enquiries.
