The former offices of Mid Suffolk District Council in Needham Market have gone on the market with Savills.
The 1.34-hectare site has planning for 60 homes including 12 apartments, created within Grade II listed Hurstlea House.
The scheme represents phases 2A and 2B of the overall plan to regenerate the site. The council has already delivered the first phase – creating 32 homes, including affordable housing, plus a new retail unit, which Co-op moved into last year.
Thomas Higgins, associate in the development team at Savills covering Suffolk and Essex, said: “The council’s development partner chose to step back from the project ahead of its second phase and we have been instructed to invite offers on the open market.”
“Appetite for development land has been robust and we expect interest to be strong – it is an important site in a prime location.
“The potential sale and subsequent redevelopment represents an exciting opportunity to deliver sustainable growth in the shape of high quality residential use, significantly contributing to the supply of much-needed new homes in the local area.”
