The freehold terrace has been put up for sale by the charity arm of University College London Hospitals to help fund health developments, particularly on its Middlesex campus.
‘We see this as the right time to use some of the charity’s existing assets to release value and fund our expansion and redevelopment of assets elsewhere,’ said Peter Burroughs, Development Director at University College London Hospitals Charity.
They are being sold via property agents Knight Frank, who described the sale as a ‘rare’ and ‘exiting’ investment opportunity.
