We been instructed by Cambridge City Council to dispose of Tiverton House on Tiverton Way, Cambridge. This presents an interesting refurbishment/development opportunity on some prime real estate in the city.

The property was originally sheltered accommodation and is now surplus to the Council’s requirements. The building is relatively modern and in sound condition and currently houses 32 units. The surrounding area is predominantly residential.

It is envisaged that the property will likely be refurbished or redeveloped subject to planning. It will be of interest to the private housing sector perhaps including care of educational institutions requiring student accommodation, as well as residential developers, housing associations and possibly private investors.

The premises are currently vacant and will be sold with vacant possession. The accommodation is on two floors and following an initial inspection it is clear that the internal space can be easily reconfigured to increase the amount of usable space.

Our planning department has carried out an initial appraisal of the site, Justin Bainton, Associate and senior planner at Januarys commented, “The project has similarities to a recent scheme we worked on at Whitlocks on Trumpington High Street. This was originally a residential home for the elderly. The existing use on Tiverton House will be C3 residential and, as a consequence, no change of use will be required to convert to standard private residential accommodation.”
