Former Hampshire care home on sale for offers of £800k+

The former Alton House care home in Hayling Island, which ceased trading last December, is now on the market for offers of at least £800,000.

With capacity for 18 residents, the detached two-storey property comprises five bedrooms on the ground floor and another nine on the first floor, of which five have en suite facilities.

There’s a passenger lift and planning permission for an additional five ground-floor bedrooms plus office and staff room in the rear garden.

The sale is being handled by Charles Phillips, director – care at Christie & Co.

“This is a great opportunity to purchase a closed care home which offers the potential to be used for various purposes, subject to all necessary permissions,” said Charles.

“While the home could be reopened as an elderly care home, it could also be of interest to specialist care operators for uses such as learning disabilities, supported living or mental health, as well as to residential developers, investors and those in the hospitality sector.”
