Abandoned former Victorian mansion with outbuildings
Description
A truly unique opportunity to purchase a 1.122 acre site on the edge of the popular village. The site has the remains of a substantial Victorian mansion known as Redlands, which was last occupied in the 1950's but has been vacant and abandoned following fires at the property.
The now abandoned property was built of red brick with stone facings had a total of 8 bedrooms, multiple reception rooms, and servant's quarters, but after a number of years use for agricultural storage it became derelict and was deleted from the rating list in 1996 owing to extensive fire damage.
The site which featured a full size tennis lawn and extensive vegetable garden is now very overgrown and requires clearance of the various outbuildings and items throughout the site. There is a direct access from the western side of the B1050 via a private bridge over Parish Dyke. The access has been temporarily blocked for security purposes.
Mains electricity, gas and water connections have been capped off at the eastern end of the site.
Redlands offers a truly unique purchase proposition, for buyers to explore potential of the site of the once-stunning mansion site (STP).
