A former memorial hospital in East Cowes, which has been the subject of campaigning for several years, is on the market for sale.
The Frank James Hospital is being marketed as “Residential Development for sale” with a price tag of £1,250,000.
The particulars state,
Kings Estates are delighted to bring to market this exclusive development at the old Frank James Hospital site of a Grade II listed building to incorporate 18 units with parking – Planning permission already in place. Located in East Cowes – a popular area close to the seafront.
With planning permission already in place for 18 units comprising of a mixture of 1 and 2 bed apartments, 2 and 3 bed maisonettes, 2 and 3 bed Terraced houses and 2 and 3 bed semi detached house this offers a good opportunity to acquire a development ready to begin work straight away.
Confusion over ownership
There appears to be some confusion in the community about any possible sale, given that the property has several owners, and has, as revealed by the Isle of Wight council in 2013, some owners who have gone into liquidation – possibly making proof of ownership tricky.
The Friends of Frank James continue in their campaign to save the property, with an ultimate aim that it could return to the community at some point.
