Difficult to date this building, but it certainly has historic qualities that would be sad to lose. Architecture aside, surely it must be the wrong direction to be losing care home stock as our population ages? Why not some enabling development in the grounds to keep the place going?

Mediocre urban design rears its ugly head once again:

Has the architect even visited the site? Why waste time and money doing something like that?
