A former care home could raise £380,000 after being auctioned off by Leeds City Council.
Knowle Manor in Morley is being sold as a “potential redevelopment site” after it closed in August last year as part of a multi-million pound cost-cutting scheme.
The Tennyson Terrace home is currently up for sale at Pew Auctions.
The auction site said: “The property is in poor internal condition and is likely to be suitable for demolition and redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents.”
The building is located approximately 300 meters (980 feet) from Morley town center in a residential area close to schools, supermarkets, bars, restaurants and the train station.
The auction site has set the target price at £380,000 and said bidding will begin at the end of January.
Opposition MPs challenged the decision to close the facility in 2024, citing concerns about the care of vulnerable residents, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
Leeds City Council said demand for residential care was falling as more people sought care in their own homes.
