Commercial redevelopment opportunity

A redevelopment opportunity comprising the freehold site of a former school, sold with vacant possession. The site is approximately 0.52 acres (0.21 hectares), broadly rectangular, and generally level. The property comprises a single-storey, red-brick school building understood to date from the 1930s, together with associated parking, playground and hardstanding areas; it extends to approximately 5,444 sq ft (505.7 sq m), primarily on the ground floor but including 258 sq ft (24 sq m) of basement space. The site boundaries are formed by metal fencing, with areas of shrub coverage. The building is believed to have originally formed the library of the original school, which was subsequently demolished. It was most recently utilised by Leeds City College and the Springwell Trust as a community and learning centre. Subject to any necessary consents, the site would be suitable for residential redevelopment. Principally accessed via Clipston Street, the site is within the established residential area of Meanwood, approximately 2 miles north of Leeds city centre and in close proximity to Meanwood Town Centre. Meanwood offers a range of local amenities, including shops, cafés, restaurants, public houses and community facilities. The surrounding area is predominantly residential, with a mix of housing and established local services. Nearby educational facilities include primary and secondary schools, while parks, playing fields and recreational facilities are available within the wider area. Public transport links are provided by local bus services operating along Meanwood Road, with Burley Park railway station situated approximately 1 mile to the south-west, providing rail connections to Leeds city centre and the wider regional network. Road communications are facilitated by Meanwood Road, which connects to the B6157 and subsequently the A660, providing access to Leeds city centre and the wider regional road network.
