A FORMER residential care home with 34 bedrooms near Oswestry has ben sold for more than half a million pounds.
The Court Nursing and Residential Care Home in West Felton is set to become a domestic house with an annexe, after it was purchased for £550,000 last month.
Buyers, husband and wife Steve and Kerry Johnson, have gained the required planning permission to move forward with the plans.
The sale was announced by specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co.
Paul Reilly, director at Christie & Co, handled the sale and said the property attracted a lot of interest.
He said: “The home attracted lots of interest over a long period of time from both existing care operators and speculative developers.
“We had a few abortive sales as it was a sensitive local village who, in the end, were in full support of its change of use back to a domestic dwelling.”
The Court is a former nursing home comprising 34 single bedrooms in a detached three-storey building with a single-storey purpose-built extension.
