Brownfield land.
The site is enclosed by a 15ft brick built boundary
wall. The site can be accessed in the north western
corner which is in front of the Chapel and main
entrance to the Extern House and Quadrangle.
The buildings are principally located in the
north western area of the site and occupy
approximately 1.56 acres. The remaining 4.77 acres
are utilised as gardens and orchard which gently
rise to the south. To the south west of the site is a
small burial ground which will be retained.
The site will be available for sale as a whole or in 2
separate lots. The boundary separating Lots 1 and 2
is flexible and it should be noted within your offer

The area extends to 1.56 acres of land within the

comprises of gardens and orchard. The site fronts
onto Lawrence Street to the north where the

The 15ft boundary wall which encloses the site is
a predominant feature of Lot 2 and is listed due to
the importance of the prayer niches which are built
into the wall.
The buildings within Lot 2 are listed due to being
within the curtilage of a listed building, however,
English Heritage has noted in their listing that they
are of low merit.

The LPA has concluded that the site in its entirety is Brownfield
land and as such an affordable housing target of 20% would
be sought. The main building complex should be retained for
re use which is now compulsory through its listing, however
the removal of those extensions which detract from the
building’s appearance and original plan would be welcome.
