A FORMER care home has been put on the market.

The Court Nursing and Residential Home in West Felton, which has recently closed, is up for sale for £600,000.

Paul Reilly, director at Christie & Co and who is handling the sale, said: “West Felton is a popular village close to the Shropshire/Powys border and would be ideal for a small bed and breakfast, offering great walking trails in the area and the Llangollen canal nearby is ideal for boaters.”

Situated approximately five miles from Oswestry and 14 miles from Shrewsbury, The Court has historically operated as a care home for both residential and nursing residents, registered for 34 residents in 34 single rooms.

The property is said to offer significant potential for a new owner, either to reopen as a care home, for conversion to supported living, or other residential or commercial development, subject to the relevant planning permissions being approved
