See Saw School ?
The Old Sawmill (c) 2012 Pugh & Co.
The most recent use for this building has been as a Sawmill. Full planning consent was granted for a change of use of the property to a children’s day nursery on the 3rd November 2011. This would tend to indicate a planning authority with a pragmatic and sensible approach to helping bring empty buildings back into use. In other words a flexibility with regard to change of use permissions.
So if your profession is as a teacher, you might consider keeping the original planning permission change of use, and seek to amend it slightly so you could build a home on the site and have that marvellous of things: – a traffic-jam-free commute to work each day ! Unusual but excellent on so many level – not just the short commute, but no railway season tickets or expensive car tanks to refuel for work travelling.
This building is detached, and has undergone partial refurbishment, but does require completion.
Interior – The Old Sawmill (c) 2012 Pugh & Co.
Internal area (approximate): Ground Floor, 3,000 sq. ft. with First Floor, 3,000 sq. ft. Yielding a huge are to play with of around 6,000 square feet.
Outside there is around a third of an acre of land. Enough to build a second building – perhaps a detached house. As suggested, maybe an idea to keep the original change of use for the main building, have a bespoke designed newbuild house in the grounds, and have a unique lifestyle with a home and livelihood all in the one purchase.
The Old Sawmill fronts directly on to Union Street which is within 5 miles of Oldham town centre
Location: The Old Saw Mill, Union Street, Royton, Oldham, Lancashire, OL2 5JD.
Tenure: LONG LEASEHOLD. Please Check Out Ground Rent & Related Charges as well as lease length and renewal terms.
Auction Guide (Lot 52): £65,000 to £80,000.
Auction Location: Manchester United Football Club.
Auction Date: 6th September 2012 (though keep an eye in case this fails to sell at auction – puts you the buyer in a very good bargaining position).

Yellowstone Yarn
The Old Yarn Store (c) 2012 Hamptons International.
This is a beautiful conversion of the Old Yarn Store at the former Longfords Mill in Stroud. The thing that caught our eye, apart from the fine yellow Cotswold Oolitic Jurassic Limestone (we swallowed the dictionary there), is the amazing water feature. A remnant of the water power for the hydro generation at the original mill. This feature looks remarkably interesting. Something to study when you are in the garden.
The Old Yarn Store Communal Gardens (c) 2012 Hamptons International.
At the refurbished Longfords Mill lies this Grade II Listed split level apartment. Arranged across two floors, approached via steps up from the parking area. The inner hallway has stairs leading to the first floor and doors radiate to the main accommodation which includes an impressive open plan reception space with both living and dining room as well as a fitted kitchen with integral oven, hob, extractor hob, fridge/freezer, washing machine and beech worktops.

Bank Fails To Sell
Tempting at Tonbridge (c) 2012 Clive Emson Auctioneers.
This building has a bearing about it that exudes a strength of some sort. Formerly a bank, this was Lot 34 at a recent Clive Emson auction, but didn’t sell on the day.
A substantial two-storey office building, with a prominent main road frontage, located within the town centre of Maidstone, convenient for Maidstone West Railway Station. The property is considered suitable for continued use as offices or, perhaps, conversion into residential units, subject to all the necessary consents being obtainable.
Behind The Bank (c) 2012 Clive Emson Auctioneers.
Interested applicants are advised to make their own enquiries with the Local Planning Authority, the Maidstone Borough Council, Maidstone House, King Street, Maidstone, Kent, ME15 6JQ. Tel: 01622 602736.
Ground Floor: Entrance leading to lobby, reception area, offices, workshop, storage area, kitchen and W.C.s.
First Floor: Office space, two large workshops, storage area, kitchen and W.C.s.
Outside: Five car-parking spaces.
The current owners have commissioned a design document outlining the change of use and extension into residential. Further details are available from the Auctioneer’s Office.
Location: 6 Tonbridge Road, Maidstone, Kent, ME16 8RP.
Tenure: Freehold.
Guide: £280,000 to £300,000. However as this is one of our favourite buying positions – a property that has failed to sell at auction, it maybe worth popping in an offer around £225,000 and see what the reaction is. Though expect there to be more than a few expletives involved. Notwithstanding this, it was a bank, so be hard nosed in your negotiations, and remember all the times a bank has said no, or disappointed you !

Imagine
Home of John Lennon (c) 2012 Knight Frank.
The estate agents have appropriately given the title to this offering. Simply….
Imagine . . .
It is priced at what would normally be the high end of property that we feature on Unique Property Bulletin. But is certainly unique in a way that even trumps the regularly unusual and often eccentric fair that is served up here. It is also an extra property, as we usually only put 6 per Bulletin. So without further ado, here is the bonus listing, and a very special one at that.
Home of John Lennon (c) 2012 Knight Frank.
To quote the selling agents: “A rare opportunity to purchase a luxuriously finished family home, formerly owned by John Lennon, set in about 1.5 acres of exquisite gardens within the renowned St George’s Hill Estate.
Kenwood is situated at the heart of the exclusive St George’s Hill Estate, acknowledged as one of the UK’s premier private residential addresses. The house occupies a superb plateau position set around St George’s Hill’s renowned golf course, tennis club and leisure amenities. Kenwood overlooks magnificent landscaped gardens and grounds and enjoys uninterrupted views of the Surrey Hills. At the bottom of the garden there is a wonderful addition in the form of an indoor swimming pool complex offering a heated pool, shower and changing facilities along with further sauna. The mature landscaped gardens and grounds feature attractive York stone, split level entertaining terraces, low box hedging, specimen plants and herbaceous borders extending to approximately 1.5 acres.
This unique house boasts substantial entertaining and family accommodation incorporating many original features alongside a luxury finish.”
