Cygnet Health Care has purchased the closed Churchfield Care Centre in Rainworth, Nottinghamshire, which occupies a 1990s purpose-built nursing home and a converted property on the same 1.27-acre site. Together, they provide 56 beds, of which 22 have en suite facilities.

Cygnet Health Care is an independent provider of social care services for young people and adults with additional needs, with 150 services across the UK. The company stated it plans to reopen the centre as a complex mental health facility in the next 12 months.

Business property advisor Christie & Co facilitated the sale.

Sam Fazackerley, business agent at Christie & Co, said: “The opportunity produced a lot of interest and subsequently multiple offers from specialist care operators who were looking to redevelop the site.

“We continue to receive high levels of interest for closed care homes across the country from a variety of care operators who want to either reopen the sites or redevelop into supported living, children’s homes, or specialist care services.”

Churchfield Care Centre was sold for an undisclosed price.
