Description

The property comprises the former Birkdale School for the Hearing Impaired and associated land. The site extends to approximately 9.67 acres (3.91 hectares) and incorporates the former school building (Grade II Listed) and former playing fields. Access is currently taken from Lancaster Road and Granville Road.

The existing school building, originally built in 1901, is arranged over ground and two upper floors and is constructed in red brick and red tiled roofs in a simplified Queen Anne style exterior. The remainder of the site, we assume, was utilised for playing fields, play grounds and car parking. The property has been vacant for a number of years and was unfortunately the site of a fire some years ago.



The property holds an existing planning consent for the delivery of 147 extra-care units (both ‘Supported Living’ and ‘Assisted Living’), delivered across the existing building and the six low rise blocks across the site. Whilst amends have been consented under subsequent applications, the original planning consent can be found using reference DC/2021/02486. The Administrators have formally implemented the planning consent and therefore this can be delivered into perpetuity.



The former Birkdale School for the Hearing Impaired is located within Birkdale – a well regarded suburb of Southport. Southport, meanwhile, is a prominent coastal town located in the north west of England between Liverpool and Blackpool.



Southport was originally founded as a sea-side destination and has since become a well regarded to location to live. Its primary transport links include the A565 (running north towards Preston and south through Formby and into Liverpool), along with the multiple train stations served by Merseyrail services and Southport station providing regular services to Manchester city centre.



The property itself is located on the southern edge of Birkdale, off Lancaster Road, in an area dominated by high quality residential. It is bound by Lancaster Road and Granville Road to the south east and north west respectively, with Royal Birkdale Golf Course to the south west and existing residential to the north east.
