Stoughton Dr S - Digby House And Lodge

Digby House is a substantial and imposing mansion house, standing on a site of approximately 2 acres. The building is constructed in brickwork, with stone mullioned windows under a slate roof. Whilst used to provide student accommodation for many years, the internal layout provides for a large number of potentially elegant living rooms at ground floor, together with similar accommodation at first and second floor that all have an excellent aspect out over the adjacent gardens that run down to Meadowcourt Road. An adjacent building known as Digby Lodge provides further living accommodation over two floors. The property stands within extensive and highly attractive grounds with lawned areas and mature borders.
The disposal of Digby House and Lodge offers a significant opportunity, with interest being sought from occupiers and developers who would wish to sensitively and aesthetically deal with the refurbishment of the property. The extent of the house and grounds to be disposed of is outlined on the plan attached. In view of the positive planning advice received from the Local Authority, it is proposed that the sale be dealt with on an unconditional basis, although conditional offers subject to planning will be considered on its merits.
