As above .... thanks !

I tried to turn one into a nursery but the stock market crashed 2008

I woulld not. You are going to have building noise and then a continuous stream of tenants next door.

Bump

Would you have to convert yours?

No it's beautifully done
Stone floors
Funky grey floor to ceiling windows
State art gas woodburner
It like art gallery !

It'll be quite a dirty, noisy art gallery next to a large building site

Depends on a few things. Is it actually attached to the derelict building or separate? What's your outdoor space/parking like, could these be compromised by the development? Are the plans for the development finalised?

If u imagine a shoe box shape with the shorter sides facing you
.. you walk down an alley as it is tucked behind other buildings

So looking down at the frount is a garden overlooked by flats - back of -which are in a big house which faces main road . Then the house with a side return , then back house is a yard .
The vertical walls belong to the house left and right
The wall that is the derelict building is attatched to those two walls and this wall will be knocked down ( replaced by wood fence or in best case senerio oart of it retained )
So basically the house is tucked away in its own little courtyard but the end wall will be removed . I wd send pic but I don't know how do on mumsnet !

Plans thrown out but new not known ones will be on way
Prime building area

There is resident parking with it round corner as it's in a courtyard led to by ally it only has foot access
