The property comprises two attached properties which have been extended and upgraded over the years, as well as a large garden with secure outdoor space.

The business has been owned by Carey Jamison since 2007 who said: ¨This was my first care home and venture into the sector. It was a steep learning curve and, although there have been challenges along the way, I have enjoyed the time I have had at Burlington and have taken the decision to sell as I want to pursue other interests and feel now is a good time to be handing over the business to a new owner.”

Prime Care is a nursing agency that places staff in nursing and care jobs in and around Sussex, Surrey and Staffordshire, The company owns two care homes, in Croydon and Southwest London.

Rojimon Varughese, director at Prime Care, commented: “Having been involved in the domiciliary care sector since 2014 and also owning two care homes in the South, I was keen to expand and Burlington Nursing Home appealed greatly to me. The home has a good reputation in the area and a dedicated team of staff who I am looking forward to getting to know and work with.”

Business property advisor Christie & Co facilitated the sale.

Charles Phillips, director, healthcare at Christie & Co, said: “The home attracted a good deal of interest from first-time buyers, existing operators, and investors due to the number of registrations and performance. This is a good business in the popular coastal town of Bognor Regis and is the third care home completion we have had in the town in the last five weeks.”
