Crestview Care, a new entrant in the care sector, has bought specialist care home Crystal Hall.

Established in 1989, Crystal Hall is an adult mental health and neurological care facility registered for 65 service users. It occupies a majority single-storey property in the Preston village of Whittingham.

It has been owned by Amanda Cummings and her family since its conception. Cummings recently decided to sell to pursue retirement.

Following a confidential sales process with Julie Kitson and Hayley Hughes at specialist business property adviser Christie & Co, the home was sold to Crestview Care, a new entrant into the sector which bought its first home just a few weeks earlier.

James Guy, managing director at Crestview Care, said: “I am pleased to have purchased Crystal Hall and look forward to building on the success and maintaining the reputation that Amanda has gained over the years.”

Julie Kitson, director at Christie & Co, said: “We are very pleased to have been able to assist Amanda with this sale which has allowed her to retire. The standard of specialist care at the home is excellent so this is a brilliant business for James to add to his new portfolio. We wish him and his team every success.”

Crystal Hall was sold for an undisclosed price.
