Care group Fidelity Healthcare has purchased Moormead House Nursing Home in Wroughton, Wiltshire, which is registered to care for up to 21 residents.

The business occupies a detached, extended 1950s property with views across the neighbouring countryside.

The home has been owned by Steve Sharp since 2001 and was brought to market to allow him to explore other business avenues.

Fidelity Healthcare owns several homes in the area.

Business property advisor Christie & Co facilitated the sale.

Oliver McCarthy, associate director, care at Christie & Co, said: “We had a lot of local and regional interest in this nursing home which demonstrates that the appetite for well-run care homes remains high.”

Moormead House Nursing Home was sold for an undisclosed price.
