A LISTED stable block and cemetery chapel are among buildings set to be sold by the city council.

The authority wants to declare the Bulwell Hall stable block and Basford Cemetery Chapel as surplus to requirements.

The move could save tens of thousands of pounds in maintenance costs, while it is hoped the buildings could be given a facelift.

Revealing the plans, a council spokesman said the three buildings “are not considered suitable for any alternative operational use due to their unique nature, locations and poor states of repair”.

He added: “Bulwell Hall stable block and Basford Cemetery Chapel are listed buildings in extremely poor condition.

“None of the properties are of a nature or standard which lend them to being let for alternative uses on the open market.”

A sale price has yet to be announced.

The council will continue to be responsible for the maintenance and security of the buildings until they are sold.

It is estimated this will cost the council more than £10,000 a year.

The Bulwell Hall stable block has been empty since 2010, when it was vacated by city council’s maintenance teams.

The grade-II listed building has been hit by vandalism in recent years. Basford Cemetery Chapel is also severely damaged after a fire in January 1995. The roof was subsequently removed.

As well as the two listed buildings, the city council also wants to sell the Bulwell Cemetery office, which has been empty since 2007, and 28 Old Park Close, in Bilborough.

The latter was most recently used by the Reserve Forces and Cadets Association as a training centre until they moved to a purpose-built centre in Wigman Road.

The site has been identified as suitable for a housing development subject to full planning permission.
