Former care home could become student flats

A care home in Beeston that was forced to close because of the tram extension works in the town is set to be sold.

Originally built as sheltered housing, Neville Sadler Court in Beeston includes 28 self-contained one bedroom apartments and could become student flats.

Associate Sam Spencer at Bruton Knowles’ Nottingham office said: “This scheme is conveniently situated in the sought-after suburb of Beeston, close to the university’s main campus, and also benefits from great road and tram links.

“It is also an easy commute to Nottingham Science Park, the Boots campus, Queen’s Medical Centre and the city centre as well as the attractive Beeston centre with its range of shops and other amenities.

“As it already features one-bedroom apartments, the building lends itself extremely well to conversion into key-worker or student housing.”

Steve Tough, team leader of NET at Nottingham City Council said: “We formed a strong relationship with Bruton Knowles through the tram development, during which the firm carried out a number of land related activities on our behalf.

“As a result, we approached Bruton Knowles again to help us sell a number of properties in Beeston.

“We were sorry that Neville Sadler Court had to close, but the site represents a great investment, refurbishment or redevelopment opportunity and we expect that given its location, close proximity to the tram system and great potential, this scheme will generate a lot of interest.”

Neville Sadler Court is on the market for offers in excess of £800,000.
