The scheme, delivered by Bluecrest Land, has been prepared for an 81-bedroom best-in-class luxury care home located on a 1.75-acre site in the desirable, ‘old village’ style Cardiff suburb of St Mellon’s, close to amenities including GP, library, and supermarket.
The care home has a proposed GIA of 5,761 square metres and will comprise a number of resident amenities including a library, multiple lounges, a private dining/celebration room, an activity room, a cinema, therapy rooms, a hair salon, a beach, a gym, a ‘meet and greet’ seating area, and a café with direct access to the beautifully landscaped gardens that boast feature lawns, a bandstand, a croquet lawn and a putting green.
Following a competitive sales process led by Sara Hartill at Christie & Co, the site has been purchased by Hallmark Care which has plans to begin construction in the summer of 2025. This will be Hallmark’s 26th care home.
