A former community centre in Croydon could become a nursery as it goes up for sale.

The Peter Sylvester Centre, in Bramley Hill, has been listed on Zoopla at a guide price of £1.4 million.

The site is being marketed as a "day nursery investment", offering a rental income of £110,000 per year upon sale completion.

According to the Zoopla listing, it is let to Mind Crafters Limited on a 20-year lease, with the tenant making a "significant" investment to convert it into a "purpose-fitted, Ofsted-registered" nursery under the Safari Kid brand.
