Dominic Rosenbaum, surveyor in Alder King’s Exeter office said: “The building offers a superb opportunity for self builders, DIY enthusiasts, and developers alike to acquire a substantial period property with significant grounds with great potential to be converted back into a home. The building is set in good sized grounds with ample parking and the upper levels have excellent views up the River Torridge.

“Alternatively Forest Hill provides a unique opportunity for commercial occupiers with the current C2 planning use for a residential institution, hospital, nursing home or training centre. It could also be used as a small hotel, guest house or children’s nursery/crèche subject to obtaining the relevant planning permission.”
