Specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co, has been instructed to sell Smallwood Manor Hospital in Uttoxeter, North Staffordshire.
Originally designed by Robert Edis and built in 1886, this 48.66-acre estate is centred around Smallwood Manor, a Grade ll listed Elizabethan-style country residence partly refurbished in 2021 to accommodate a children’s hospital and mental health centre. The Quadrangle, a former stable block, has planning permission for conversion to an eating disorder clinic and semi-secure unit. The property also benefits from an Art Block, an enclosed swimming pool, a chapel, which now has planning permission for a restaurant, and four residential properties. The surrounding grounds accommodate a walled garden, tennis courts, playing fields and artificial turf pitch.
The estate sits in a desirable setting within East Staffordshire, close to the hamlet of Netherland Green, and accessible via a private driveway which leads to the estate. The closest town is Uttoxeter which is 4.8km to the north.
It ceased trading as a private school and is being sold with vacant possession with an asking price of £4,000,000.
Julie Kitson, Director at Christie & Co, who is handling the sale, comments, “This beautiful setting is an excellent opportunity to acquire a building that has been partly refurbished to provide semi-secure accommodation for children stepping down from hospital. The properties on the grounds offer children’s accommodation and a long-term project to provide additional accommodation and horticultural opportunities, as well as C2 use. It is certainly worth a viewing to appreciate this opportunity.”
