Stoneleigh House, 2 Rowlands Hill

Rare Opportunity to Acquire a Handsome, Detached Property in Central Wimborne. Stoneleigh House which is believed to date from the 1860s is a handsome property which provided a fine private dwelling up to the 1970s. At that time our clients acquired and converted the property to provide a well-regarded care home which has remained in the same family's ownership ever since prior to closing in 2023. In addition to offering 10 letting rooms (most having ensuite facilities) the property also features owner's accommodation. The property falls within a generous and regular shaped plot extending to approximately 0.26 acres (0.11 hectares) featuring mature gardens and good parking provision. In addition to the main Stoneleigh House building, the site also includes a former Coach House. This is a detached outbuilding which is currently used for storage and the plot measures approximately 0.19 acres (0.077 ha). The total site can be seen edged pink in the aerial photograph on page 6 of the brochure. Both properties have the benefit of separate planning consents as detailed below. Full details are held in a data room, access details for which are available from the agents. The property is considered eminently suitable for a variety of alternative uses subject to the purchaser obtaining any necessary statutory consents. Such uses might include boutique hotel, offices, educational, medical or leisure orientated uses.
