Frensham House, 125 New Road, Brixham, TQ5 8BY

A period detached property with conventionally arranged accommodation, Frensham House was previously registered to provide accommodation for 14 elderly residents in 11 registered rooms although there is a further bedroom on the second floor bringing the overall total to 12.

On the ground floor there are principle day rooms and ancillary areas which there are bathrooms and WC's on each floor.

Externally, there are attractive, well stocked, established gardens, predominantly to the front whilst at the side/rear there is off road parking for a number of vehicles.

Frensham House is an appealing proposition given its size, layout and location making it ideal for a variety of uses whether within the care sector, specialist, independent living etc or another sector perhaps leisure given its close proximity to the town and coast.

Frensham House is situated on a main arterial route into the town albeit well screened and surrounded by predominantly residential property.

The coastal town of Brixham offers a range of day to day facilities and is within short travelling distance of the larger, neighbouring towns of Paignton and Torquay which, together with Brixham form the area known as Torbay. Acknowledged as the "English Riviera" famed for its beaches, warm climate, attractive sea fronts, piers and harbours, the area attracts many tourist each year as well as a high retirement population making it an excellent location in which to operate a care home or leisure based business. The area is well served by major retailers, supermarkets and the like with each town having its own commercial centre as well as a large regional hospital at Torquay.

The town is connected via the A380 to the Cathedral city of Exeter, some 24 miles distant where access can be gained to the motorway network at M5, Junction 31. There is a branch line rail service in both Paignton and Torquay which connects with the main Penzance to Paddington line at Newton Abbott, just over seven miles away and again at Exeter, St David's Station.

Ground Floor - Entrance hall with staircase to the first floor and chair lift, lounge with bay window and conservatory off, dining room with small sun lounge area. Former kitchen (majority of equipment removed), four bedrooms, bathroom/WC, separate WC, former laundry with two gas boilers, second laundry, further WC.

First Floor - Landing with staircase to second floor, seven bedrooms (the two principle bedrooms at the front benefit from large bay windows), shower room/wet room/WC and separate WC.

Second Floor - Bedroom, bathroom/WC, access to walk in loft space.

The compact nature of the internal accommodation means that subject to any necessary permission and appropriate investigation, there is potential to combine a number of the existing rooms to make larger spaces if required.

At the front the property is well screened from the main road with pedestrian access to it and an attractive, well stocked and established garden which includes a small area of lawn, many flower beds, shrubs and trees.

There is an outbuilding/summer house which was previously used as a visitor pod and numerous sheds plus a small outbuilding at the side.

Ramped access from the front leads to the opposite side where there is off road parking as well as to the rear with access being gained from the residential road at the rear of the property.

The availability of Frensham House in the market represents an excellent chance to acquire a well situated detached property which although having been a care home for many years and in the current ownership for over a quarter of a Century, could also suit a variety of alternative uses both within the Care sector and other similar/associated sectors.

The property retains its conventional layout and therefore, future alterations or conversions would be far more straightforward as a result and as such, strong interest is anticipated from a wide range of potential purchasers.

We are inviting offers on a guide price of £495,000 for the Freehold interest in the property with vacant possession.

The home was previously registered with CQC to provide residential care to a maximum of 14 residents.

The home closed in September 2024 with the registration being archived at that point so any party seeking to establish a regulated care facility at the property should carry out their own due diligence prior to committing to a purchase.
