Closed care home on the Isle of Lewis on the market

This former care home is a two-storey 1990s purpose-built property with 38 en-suite bedrooms, a large open plan lounge and dining area, and two smaller lounges on each floor. It sits on a two-acre plot with generous lawned gardens.

The property is located in the town of Stornoway, on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. The town’s population of 9,000 makes it the largest town in the Outer Hebrides and a major port for the area.

Andrew Fyfe, Associate Director - Care at Christie & Co, who is handling the sale, comments: “Blar Buidhe presents an opportunity to acquire a closed home set in an excellent residential location with a variety of different uses possible. The home has en-suite WC bedrooms and the prospect to expand on the existing two-acre site. The site lends itself to a variety of different uses, and we expect interest from residential developers as well as being suitable for multiple commercial uses, subject to planning permission. There is likely to be an increase in demand for accommodation to meet staffing requirements for the Stornoway Wind Farm project, which is just one of many renewable energy projects on the island. The service is currently registered as inactive, therefore there is an opportunity, subject to the Care Inspectorate, to re-open as a care home. The method of sale is asset sale, and the strong preference of the vendor is to consider offers on an unconditional basis.”

Offers are invited for the freehold investment.
