Historic houses for sale at bargain prices by desperate town halls - Telegraph
With its imposing clock tower, turrets and wrought iron gates, this grand Georgian hospital building looks far beyond the budget of the average house-hunter.
But it is among hundreds of historic buildings being sold off for bargain prices by councils desperate to raise extra funds to counter government cuts.
The Grade-II listed building of the old St Giles Hospital in Camberwell, south London, is set to be auctioned off at a rock-bottom price after being deemed too costly to maintain by Southwark Council.
Conisbrough Priory near Doncaster, two Georgian terraces in Greenwich, south London, and the public swimming baths in Rotherham are among the other buildings on sale.
Investment experts said the “Big Council Sell Off” was an ideal opportunity for shrewd buyers to snap up a historic building at a bargain price.
Docaster Council put Conisbrough Priory up for auction at a guide price of £275,000, while the Rotherham swimming baths went up for £150,000
