The Former Hollies Nursing and Residential Home, 44 Church Street Clayton-le-Moors, Accrington, England, BB5 5HT

The property is now being offered to the market on a vacant possession basis and is available by way of a new lease, with the CQC registration having lapsed.

The former Hollies Nursing and Residential Home traded for nearly 40 years and provided care for elderly residents with dementia and physical disabilities. The home unfortunately closed in May 2023. It has since been acquired by our Client who now wishes to lease the property back to a healthcare provider.

The home was registered with the CQC for 38 residents across 38 single bedrooms and is set within an attractive period building which has been extended over the years.

The property is located on Church Street in Clayton-le-moors, Accrington and lies near to the the A680 and A678 with links to Junction 8 of the M65 motorway, approximately one mile away allowing close access to Blackburn and Burnley. The M66 and M60 provide routes to Manchester, circa 27 miles south and north towards Preston, circa 20 miles and Lancaster circa 40 miles.

Accommodation briefly comprises:

Resident areas – 38 single bedrooms over ground and first floor levels. 2 bedrooms have an en suite (WHB and WC). Three lounges, three dining areas, assisted bathrooms and shower rooms and five resident WC’s.

Service areas – commercial kitchen, medical rooms, nurses station, laundry room, managers office, sluice room.

Floor plans are available on request.

The home is vacant and therefore no loose fixture and fittings are included.

Negotiations over a new lease are invited on a vacant possession basis only. Viewings will be conducted as appropriate for seriously interested parties. All interested parties must provide proof of funds with their offer and be able to adhere to a strict purchase timeline.

No direct approach may be made to the Client. Buyers will be required to undertake their own risk assessments with regard to health & safety and environmental matters and all regulatory and compliance matters.

The property sits on 0.45acre plot with a small garden area and car parking for approximately 10-12 cars to the front and side.

The availability of the former Hollies Nursing and Residential Home represents an excellent opportunity for a local elderly healthcare operator to lease a substantial, vacant care home with exciting potential to re-open, subject to any necessary consents.

We believe the property will suit experienced care home providers seeking to expand their portfolios without the need for extensive capital outlay from the outset.

Alternatively, the property might also suit specialist care providers in the region who are looking for new premises. Our client may be open to discussions surrounding refurbishment and repurposing the property to suit.

The terms of a new lease are flexible and will be discussed further with interested parties. Our client would ideally like a long lease of circa 20 years.

The home is not registered with CQC and offers subject to registration will not be considered.
