On instructions from Croydon Council, we present a great opportunity to use or develop a former children’s home on a regular shaped site in a popular suburban location within easy reach of local amenities and public transport links and providing quick access to the M25 and wider motorway network.

The site is conveniently located in Reedham Park Avenue, in the leafy suburb of Kenley, close to open countryside. It is a mainly residential area characterised by a mix of lower density houses and flats.

It is connected to rail services, shops and local amenities about 1 mile to the north at Reedham via a good local bus which continues on to Purley and East Croydon centre.

Potential

The existing building may have potential for continued use as a children’s home (Class C2) or, subject to planning, for alternative uses such as healthcare, leisure or commercial falling within Class E, or potentially residential (Class C3).

Alternatively the site may be suitable for redevelopment for commercial or residential uses. Interested parties should make their own planning enquiries.

The site is regular in shape with access from Reedham Park Avenue, off Old Lodge Lane.

The two-storey building, dating from the 1970s, was formerly used as a children’s nursery measuring approx. 500 sq.m (5,382 sq.ft sq.m) GEA.

The building is in need of maintenance/refurbishment. Interested parties should make their own investigations. Mains services are believed to be connected. (EPC #)
