Property DESCRIPTION

Site area: 4.575 Hectares (11.3 Acres)
Developable Area: 1.8 Hectares (4.44 Acres)
Registered Titles : K964879 and K180722

The site comprises a former special education and training facility known as Boughton Mount. The facility has been closed since 2009, and has since fallen in to disrepair. The buildings associated with the previous use are in poor condition and unsuitable for re-use.

The site is split in to two respective parts, with the north half of the site accommodating the built form and the southern half a heavily wooded area. Historically the site accommodated a former mansion called Boughton Mount which we understand was destroyed in a fire. The grounds still contain evidence of this past, with the walled gardens on the east and the Grade II Listed Ha Ha and Folly.

The information in the data room includes a historical feasibility document that provides further detail and context to the buildings on site as well as the former mansion
