Specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co, has announced the sale of a 68-bedroom care home development scheme in Burgess Hill, West Sussex, brought forward by market-leading developer, Frontier Estates.
The site extends to 1.57 acres and is located to the south of Kingsway in the popular West Sussex town of Burgess Hill. The proposed scheme comprises a 68-bed care home over three-storey accommodation, with an anticipated GIA of 60.4 sqm per resident.
The planned home will be surrounded by landscaped gardens which include a range of seating and patio spaces, woodland and wildflower planting, and a kitchen garden. Balcony and terraces will provide extensive views over the gardens from the proposed care home, and the existing mature trees and wooded area will provide an interesting, natural screening for the home.
Following a confidential sales process with Christie & Co, the site has been purchased by family-run care provider, Boutique Care, which also has three exceptional care homes in Newmarket, Shepperton, and Broadstairs.
Ameet Kotecha, Managing Director and Head of the Boutique Care Homes Family, comments, “I’m very excited to take our latest home forward to opening in the next two years. This is a key phase in our business growth. Burgess Hill represents a high-quality, sustainable location to develop a state-of-the-art care home fit to provide the outstanding quality of care Boutique is known for.”
Sara Hartill, Associate Director – Care Development & Investment at Christie & Co, who handled the sale, comments, “The need for a new care home in Burgess Hill was supported by strong interest from several operators and a competitive bidding process. I’m delighted that Boutique Care Homes has secured the site, given their in-depth local knowledge of the area and impressive track record of delivering best-in-class homes. I very much look forward to visiting the development in due course and congratulate the group on securing what will become the fourth home within the Boutique Care Homes portfolio.”
Damian Wood, Development Director at Frontier Estates, comments, ‘It’s been a pleasure working with Boutique Care Homes and I very much look forward to working with them on the next project.”
The care home development site was sold for an undisclosed price.
