It needs work but the potential is real:
The interior and some facilities will need updating or reinstating to bring it back to a commercial standard making it ideal for buyers with trade skills or renovation experience. While it’s no longer operating commercially the structure is solid and systems like the commercial fire protection system are operational. With vision, effort and ingenuity, it could be revitalized to include:

• Unique private home
• Communal or Extended Family living
