A former middle school site in west Suffolk has been listed for sale, with details stating it is suitable for a residential development of around 100 homes. 

The site of Parkway Middle School in Park Road, Haverhill, which has been closed since August 2011, has appeared on Rightmove marketed by Lambert Smith Hampton London. 

The 9.9 acre site, which belongs to Unity Schools Partnership and is currently home to the trust's head office, includes the former school buildings and playing fields.

The Rightmove listing states it is suitable for residential development including around 100 homes. 

In order to sell the site, Unity Schools Partnership, which is also the trust behind many other Suffolk schools including Castle Manor Academy and Samuel Ward Academy, had to get permission from the Department for Education. 

As part of that permission, all proceeds of the sale of the land must be reinvested into upgrading school buildings at nearby Castle Manor Academy in Eastern Avenue.

A spokesperson for Unity Schools Partnership said: "We have long identified the need to improve and modernise existing facilities at Castle Manor Academy and the sale of Park Road would allow us to push ahead with these plans.

"We look forward to being in a position to announce the site of our new premises in Haverhill in the near future.

"We are delighted that we are able to stay in the town where the Trust started in 2013."

The site is available for freehold with vacant possession and offers are invited via informal tender by 12pm on February 1.
