A CARE home in Stinchcombe with a guide price of £1.75 million has been taken over by new owners.

Acting on behalf of outgoing owners, Paul and Helen Hutson, specialist property adviser Christie and Co has sold Stinchcombe Manor Nursing Home in rural Gloucestershire.

The care home has been acquired by Stroud Care Services, who plan to develop the Grade II listed former manor House into their flagship facility.

Director of Christie and Co’s South West Healthcare team Simon Harvey said: “We are delighted to have assisted Paul and Helen with the sale which will enable them to concentrate on their care businesses in Cornwall and, equally, we are pleased to have facilitated the acquisition thus allowing Stroud Care Services to expand their operation.

“This is the third care home that Christie and Co has sold in Gloucestershire in the last few months, following hot on the heels of the Old Vicarage in Frampton-on-Severn and Woodstock Nursing Home in Gloucester, all of which continue to show that demand for care homes in the county remains high.”

Stinchcombe Manor is registered to accommodate a maximum of 36 clients in 28 bedrooms, 18 of which have their own en-suite facilities.

The freehold interest in Stinchcombe Manor was sold for an undisclosed sum off a guide price of £1.75 million.
