Former care home on the market

A former care home in a Shropshire town could be set for a new lease of life as it goes under the hammer.

Edgeley House - a 22,000 sq ft property in Whitchurch - is available via online auction through property consultancy Fisher German with a guide price of £450,000.

Set in 5.36 acres of land, the two-storey property with 51 individual rooms has scope for a variety of different uses, subject to planning permission.

The building was used as care home for elderly residents until its closure in 2021, and retains many of its original features.

The online auction is now live, with all bids needing to be placed by Tuesday, September 16.

Tom Dennes, head of online auctions at Fisher German, said: “Edgeley House is full of potential for the right buyer thanks to the versatility of the site and the property.

“It could be refurbished in its current form, or completely redeveloped to become a new commercial property, a residential complex, or something else entirely. We are expecting plenty of interest in the auction and would urge potential bidders to contact us if they had any questions or wished to book a viewing.”
