Grasshopper Property - space to think
Some of the best business decisions aren’t made in the office, but while stepping away from it. I was out walking, surrounded by water and open countryside, taking time to weigh up the pros and cons of a potential new opportunity for Grasshopper Property, a former ambulance station. The building itself sits in a lovely, quiet village, yet is located directly behind a private care home. It’s in a beautiful, peaceful setting, but with clear considerations around future use, neighbours and community impact. Considerations that needed thought: • How could this industrial building be sensitively converted? • Would it be more suitable to rent or to sell once developed? • How would any scheme work alongside the existing care home and local village? Being outdoors, away from the usual noise and distractions, created exactly the right environment for thoughtful, strategic decision making. Still a couple of questions that need help, but sometimes, clarity comes not at the desk but when you give yourself space to think.
