Specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co, has sold a development site in Nettleham, Lincolnshire, which benefits from planning permission for a 65-bedroom care home.
Care home developer, Frontier Estates, secured the planning consent for a ‘specialist 65-bedroom dementia care home’ development scheme (Use Class C2) inclusive of 100 per cent en suite bathrooms and accommodated over 2.5 storeys. The site sits on a circa 1.4-acre plot in the Lincolnshire village of Nettleham.
Following a sales process with Jordan Rundle and Sara Hartill at Christie & Co, it has been purchased by care provider, Country Court, which plans to complete construction in 2026.
Matt Croger, Land Director at Frontier Estates, said: “Nettleham is an attractive village with good transport links to Lincoln that doesn’t currently have any care facilities. Through the planning process and with the positive feedback from local residents and businesses, Frontier and the Council both recognised that this would be a great scheme appreciated by the community.
“Country Court is an excellent operator with an exciting development pipeline who we look forward to working closely with. Frontier is very pleased to have passed the scheme in Nettleham on to them and looks forward to it being a hub of the community once built.”
Al-Karim Kachra, Co-CEO at Country Court Care, said: “We’re pleased to secure an excellent site and expand our presence in Lincoln and surrounding areas. We hope to be on-site by the end of Q1 2025 with a view to opening in late 2026.”
Jordan Rundle, Director – Healthcare Investment & Development at Christie & Co, said: “Nettleham presents a superb opportunity for a newbuild care home, underpinned by strong affluence indicators for the area.
“The site itself benefits from a highly prominent roadside location and will provide the local community with a state-of-the-art care facility. Following several other planning approvals this year, Frontier Estates has secured another excellent consent in what continues to be a challenging planning environment.
“With a significant presence in the region already, Country Court Care will be exceptionally placed to deliver outstanding care for the growing need of Lincolnshire’s elderly demographic.”
The development site was sold for an undisclosed price.
