Description The Convent of Joseph was founded in 1864 and the buildings were built between 1870-75. The buildings were designed by local architect George Goldie and based on a cloistered quadrangular plan. The Convent is now Grade II listed due to its architectural and historical importance.

The site is enclosed by a 15ft brick built boundary wall. The site can be accessed in the north western corner which is in front of the Chapel and main entrance to the Extern House and Quadrangle.
The buildings are principally located in the north western area of the site and occupy approximately 1.56 acres. The remaining 4.77 acres are utilised as gardens and orchard which gently rise to the south. To the south west of the site is a small burial ground which will be retained.
The site will be available for sale as a whole or in 2 separate lots. The boundary separating Lots 1 and 2 is flexible and it should be noted within your offer where you have made adjustments.

The 15ft boundary wall which encloses the site is a predominant feature of Lot 2 and is listed due to the importance of the prayer niches which are built into the wall.
The buildings within Lot 2 are listed due to being within the curtilage of a listed building, however, English Heritage has noted in their listing that they are of low merit.

PlanningThe site has been included within the City of York Local Plan preferred options draft for residential development of approximately 141 units. The 3 principle buildings on site and boundary wall are Grade II listed and the ancillary buildings and walls within the site are listed by way of their curtilage status.
Savills has undertaken a Pre Application for the purpose of redevelopment of the site as residential use or student accommodation. The LPA’s response can be accessed via the data room.
The Pre App noted the importance of any development on site being respectful of its context which is required by the NPPF Section 7. The site is considered to provide an opportunity to develop a unique and desirable development in a peaceful setting.
The LPA has concluded that the site in its entirety is Brownfield land and as such an affordable housing target of 20% would be sought. The main building complex should be retained for re use which is now compulsory through its listing, however the removal of those extensions which detract from the building’s appearance and original plan would be welcome.
The pre-application confirms creation of a new site access onto Lawrence Street would be acceptable close to the eastern boundary.
TenureThe site is held freehold.
Technical InformationTechnical reports and drawings can be downloaded via our dedicated data room at http://savills.ftpuk.net.
