A Nottingham care home which closed in June is to go up for auction this month, with an application for planning consent to convert the building to residential accommodation currently pending.
 
The Ryland Residential Care Home on Meadow Road in Beeston will be included in SDL Property Auctions’ next online sale on August 22 and has been given a guide price of £595,000.
 
The three-storey former residential home, which accommodated 17 elderly residents until June, is situated on a large site and includes 15 bedrooms as well as multiple communal areas such as a dining room, lounges, offices and kitchen.
 
If planning consent is granted, the property could be redeveloped as six apartments with 24 rooms to let.
 
Andrew Parker, auctioneer and managing director at SDL Property Auctions, says: “Subject to the planning application getting the go ahead, this is a great opportunity for an investor or a developer to buy a property in the vibrant area of Beeston, which is extremely popular with students. Accommodation for students and other young people is always in short supply so it is the ideal location to develop a new rental apartments scheme.”
 
He added: “As a location, Beeston also benefits from excellent transport links, being on the tram line to Nottingham city centre, connected to London via the railway and a stone’s throw from the M1 motorway.”
 
Meanwhile a 1960s Methodist Church in Birmingham is for sale in Bond Wolfe’s next auction, with a guide price of £345,000.

The landmark building extends to around 4,820 square feet on a site of almost half an acre.
 
Ian Tudor, commercial auction director at Bond Wolfe, says: “These are vacant freehold church premises in an established residential neighbourhood. This is a spacious single storey building of brick construction with pitched tiled roofs.

“It is configured to provide an entrance lobby, main worship hall, offices, meeting rooms, stores, accessible WC, ladies and gents WCs. The property stands on a site extending to approximately 0.475 acres including a car park to the side and rear.”

The original Sladepool Farm Road Methodist Chapel began in 1939 in a wooden school hall to serve the growing Maypole Estate. A separate, temporary chapel was opened in 1949 and the new Maypole Methodist Church built on the site in the 1960s.
 
The former church stands on a prominent position on the southern side of Sladepool Farm Road near its junction with the main A435 Alcester Road South, a busy arterial route linking the suburbs of Maypole, Kings Heath and Moseley with Birmingham city centre approximately five miles to the north.
 
It appears in the livestreamed Bond Wolfe auction on Thursday September 12.
