Property Description

Substantial Care Conversion Opportunity – Former Convalescence Home on 0.27 Acre Plot in Bedfordshire
Fraser Bond is pleased to present The Coppice, a substantial former convalescence home located at 2 The Glade, Bedford — offering a rare opportunity to acquire a sizeable residential institutional asset within a desirable Bedfordshire setting.
Occupying a generous plot of approximately 0.27 acres, the property comprises a large detached building historically configured for care use. The layout is likely arranged to accommodate multiple residents, with communal living areas, bedrooms, and support facilities, making it ideally suited to continued use within the care or supported living sector.
The property is positioned within a quiet residential cul-de-sac, surrounded by high-quality housing and green space, enhancing its appeal for both residential and specialist accommodation uses. Its scale and setting provide a unique opportunity to deliver a high-quality scheme in a low-density environment.
Subject to planning, the asset may also lend itself to conversion into a number of residential units or a substantial single private residence, capitalising on the strong demand for housing in the Bedfordshire commuter belt.
