Former Worcestershire County Hall, County Hall, Spetchley Road, Worcester

The former County Hall represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial brownfield redevelopment site extending to approximately 16.6 acres (6.7 hectares). The property comprises the former Worcestershire County Council headquarters together with the Records Office and Boiler House, set within mature landscaped grounds.

The main County Hall building extends to approximately 228,324 sq ft GIA. The property was vacated in June 2024 and subsequently declared surplus to operational requirements.

The site benefits from positive pre-application engagement with Worcester City Council and Worcestershire County Council Highways Authority, with the principle of demolition and redevelopment supported. An indicative masterplan for 153 dwellings has informed the pre-application discussions, demonstrating the potential for a significant residential-led redevelopment of the site. Alternative uses, including healthcare, care and specialist residential accommodation, may also be suitable, subject to the necessary consents.

Offers are sought for the freehold interest on a conditional, subject to planning basis, with unconditional and part-site offers also considered on their individual merits.

The site lies approximately two miles south east of Worcester city centre, with convenient access to the wider road network via Junctions 6 and 7 of the M5. Worcester benefits from three railway stations, providing services to Birmingham, London, Hereford and other destinations.

The property adjoins Worcester Woods Country Park, with Worcestershire Royal Hospital, Waitrose, Worcester Sixth Form College and a range of local amenities nearby. Local bus services are also available from Spetchley Road and Wildwood Drive.
