This was unoccupied in 2000 with the garden going wild. It was owned by the county government and used by the Cambridge Regional College, but was put on the market for an asking price of 1.5 million pounds (about 2.4 million Euros).
It was purchased by a company which turned it into a hotel (called Hotel Felix), which opened in November 2002. They added two blocks of rooms by CMC Architects at the back of, and connected to, the original building.
In 2021, it was proposed to demolish all the buildings on the site, and erect a care home. Planning was refused by the local council but, on appeal, permission was granted by the planning inspectorate in 2023.
The buildings were demolished in the first half of 2026.
The new care home was designed by Carless + Adams architects.
