Description

The property stands on a large site extending to c. 1.43 acres and comprises the original period property which has been converted together with a recent purpose built extension which was completed in 2022.

This large site benefits from extensive car parking to the front and side and there are enclosed areas of secure gardens for residents' use. (Please note the 2 cabins near the farm road will be removed together with the cabin in the central car park along with the generator.)

The availability of The Chimneys presents an excellent and rare chance to acquire a part purpose built specialist care facility in an excellent setting.

Given the flexibility that the accommodation provides, it is highly likely to suit a wide range of potential purchasers, either those with experience of a similar care group to the previous occupiers or if looking to reposition to a different client group or alternative care use.

As such, we expect strong interest to be shown from a wide range of buyers both within the care sector and elsewhere

We are inviting offers on a guide price of £1,800,00 for the freehold property with vacant possession.
