BH21 Stoneleigh House, 2 Rowlands Hill, Wimborne

A Handsome, Detached Property in Central Wimborne, which is believed to date from the 1860s is a handsome property which provided a fine private dwelling up to the 1970s.

At that time our clients acquired and converted the property to provide a well-regarded care home which has remained in the same family's ownership ever since prior to closing earlier this year.

In addition to offering 10 letting rooms (most having ensuite facilities) the property also features owner's accommodation.

The property falls within a generous and regular shaped plot extending to approximately 0.45 acres (0.180 hectares) featuring mature gardens and good parking provision.

In addition to the main Stoneleigh House building, the site also includes a former Coach House. This is detached outbuilding which is currently used for storage.

Both properties have the benefit of separate planning consents as detailed below. Full details are held in a data room, access details for which are available from the agents.

The property is available as a whole. Alternatively our clients are willing to sell Stoneleigh House as a separate lot (details below) with a view to retaining the Coach House and converting this for their own use.

The property is considered eminently suitable for a variety of alternative uses subject to the purchaser obtaining any necessary statutory consents. Such uses might include boutique hotel, offices, educational, medical or leisure orientated uses.

Stoneleigh House and The Coach House are available in their entirety as one lot having the benefit of the planning consents described above.

Alternatively, Stoneleigh House is available as a separate lot with our clients retaining The Coach House.

As such, this rare opportunity is likely to appeal to owner occupiers seeking an opportunity to create a desirable residence in this sought after and historic town.
