Chestnuts House is a Grade II\* listed mansion built on the edge of the village of Walthamstow in approximately 1745. The building is owned by the Council and is regarded as one of the best surviving and least altered examples of Georgian domestic architecture in Waltham Forest. The building has remained largely unused since 2008, other than being occupied by residential 'Guardians' to ensure its security. Although Chestnuts House is occupied by live-in guardians, the building has suffered from a lack of maintenance and requires works to ensure its long-term future and its removal from Historic England's Heritage at Risk register. The Council wants to secure a long-term future for the building, and to enable the building's removal from the Heritage at Risk register. The Council is currently marketing the building to secure an operator to let the building for the provision of creative workspace. The intention is that the Council will complete essential repairs and the operator will undertake their own fit-out works. ## CPV classification Construction work Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/f4b4ed39-6c01-446e-b44a-ace96e00f35c) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
