FreeholdDevelopment Opportunity STP
St. Bedes Presbytery, Carr House Drive, Durham
1.53 Acres
Description
The Bid Deadline is 12noon on 24th July 2025.
The sale of the St. Bede’s Presbytery and Land provides an excellent opportunity to acquire a property with excellent development potential in a popular location approximately 1.5 miles north of Durham city centre.
The broadly triangular-shaped site measures approximately 1.32 acres (0.53 ha).
The southern and eastern parts of the property are mainly landscaped grounds and informal surface car parking. The car park is private and only accessible to authorised users on a temporary permissive basis.
The main vehicular access onto this open part of the property is from Carr House Drive.
The Presbytery, a single storey red brick building, is located towards the north west corner of the property. The building has four bedrooms and two garages. Vehicular access to the Presbytery is from Old Pit Lane. There is a separate dedicated car parking area off this access, with parking for four or five cars.
The property is offered for sale by informal tender. Bids are invited on two bases:
1. For the entire property.
2. For the property excluding the Presbytery building and land on which it sits - some 0.23 acre (0.093 ha). This area is approximately identified as the opaque shaded area on the aerial photograph on the front of this brochure.
The preference of the vendor is that the site be used for the provision of social housing.
