Former Maud hospital to go up for auction

The former Maud Hospital.

A disused hospital with “huge potential” for redevelopment will be auctioned off later this month.

Maud Hospital closed its doors in 2008 after 148 years of caring for the sick and elderly in Aberdeenshire.

And the B-listed building, which provided 135 beds for patients, is being sold by Edinburgh auctioneers SVA Property Auctions..

It is expected that the property, which is set in about three-acres of land, will fetch offers of about £120,000.

Shaun Vigers, a director of the firm, said options for the building included its conversion into a hotel or flats.

He added: “This property offers huge potential to the right buyer. If the appropriate consents can be put in place there is scope to covert the hospital into flats, a hotel, training centre or a care home.

“There could also be opportunities to build in the grounds, perhaps to complement or extend the function of the main building.”

Maud Hospital was built in the 1860s following an architectural competition to provide a hospital with enough room for 125 patients and 35 paupers.

In October 2013, Aberdeenshire Council granted planning permission for it to be converted into shops and homes.

Planning permission was also approved for a cafe to be created within the grounds.

No work was ever completed on site, however, and permission has now lapsed.

It is being offered for auction by the Scottish Government.

Any buyer would have to reapply to the local authority to convert the property.

Also up at the same auction are five single-terraced garages in Peterhead which were owned by the Scottish Prison Service.

A guide price for the garages, which form a group of 31, has not been offered.

They are thought to have been built in the 1960s.

Bidding for both items commences on Thursday, June 22, at 2pm.

The auction will be held in the Marriott Hotel, Edinburgh.
