Lead or Rumour info - Congregation of Franciscan Missionaries of the Divine Motherhood, Guildford(ish)

May be a complete nothing burger, but I drove passed here at the end of a very long day many miles away from home.

Never heard of it before, don't know the area, may well NOT even be empty. However, there was a sign at the end of the drive 'Police Dog Training in progress' which caught my attention. Also had a sign along the road, 'St. John's Seminary'?

Maybe worth someone local doing a bit of digging to see if it's empty?

St John's Seminary closed in mid 2021 due to lack of intake at the beginning of the upcoming academic year. Currently grade II listed. It was purchased in 2022 by a property company who began a public consultation period with the local community in regards to its redevelopment. So will probably end up being converted into overpriced flats eventually....

Meanwhile the Police get free access for training purposes / putting off any scrap fairies / unpaid tenants.

If I was closer, I'd be down there like a shot. Won't have any free time until August now though so hopefully someone else can get on it.
