Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust invites offers on Lamel Beeches.

The Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust has announced that Lamel Beeches will be sold to the highest bidder instead of being converted into affordable housing. The estate has been ruled unfit for being used as affordable housing, and the money from the sale will be used to invest elsewhere to improve future housing projects. 

Having closed in Spring 2021, the early 20th-century estate is a former care home equipped with 37 en suite bedrooms, several balconies and over 1 and a half acres of land.
