A former health clinic in Chester city centre could be converted into accommodation.

St Martins Clinic, next to City Walls Medical Centre on St Martins Way, is up for sale.

The former Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (CWP) building, which offered a range of health services, is being listed by BNP Paribas Real Estate, on behalf of NHS Property Services, as a 'development opportunity' in an 'attractive location'.

The site includes more than half the spaces at the car park once used by both the clinic and the medical centre, and measures about half an acre in area.

Pre-application enquiries have been submitted to Cheshire West and Chester Council on the kind of property development that could be built on the site.

One of the options is to knock the building down and replace it with a row of six two-bedroom houses, plus creating a three-storey block of six one-bedroom flats on a new building on the site.

Another option is to convert the existing building into five or six flats, a mixture of one and two-bedroom options, plus a new four-storey block of eight one-bedroom flats.

A third option would be to reshape the existing building into either student accommodation, retirement living, or a care home.

CWP still has a strong presence within Chester, with a wide range of its services offered at sites including, but not limited to, the 1829 Building at the Countess of Chester Health Park, the Fountains Building in Delamere Street, and Café 71 on St Anne's Street.
