    Description

    A development site of approximately 3.175 acres, currently arranged with two buildings, Kings Worthy House & Kings Worthy Court plus large garden areas and parking.

    Kings Worthy House is a three storey Queen Anne Style detached property that has been Grade II listed since December 2024. Kings Worthy House had planning permission previously approved in 2019 under permitted development to convert to 6 two bedroom residential units. Plans include 12 parking spaces, two visitor spaces and internal cycle storage spaces. These plans have now expired and this section of the site is now Grade II listed and so Listed Building Consent was attained at the time.

    Kings Worthy Court is a substantial single storey redundant office building. Kings Worthy Court had planning permission previously approved in 2019 under permitted development to convert to 16 residential units (11 x 1 bedroom and 5 x 2 bedroom). Plans include 28 parking spaces, three visitor spaces and internal cycle storage spaces. These plans have now expired.

    Further substantial developments plans for the site have been submitted and since withdrawn following the listing of Kings Worthy House. These plans were to demolish Kings Worthy Court with the construction of 24 new build units, consisting of two-storey houses, flats, chalet bungalows and associated parking plus internal redevelopment of Kings Worthy House to provide 6 apartments.

    Development potential subject to requisite consents.

    Vacant.
