Kidderminster care home set to reopen after purchase by new owner

Specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co has successfully completed on the sale of Doddington Lodge, located within the village of Cleobury Mortimer near Kidderminster, Shropshire.



The previously closed care home was registered for 41 residents, with the substantial property boasting 35 bedrooms. Set within three acres of land, the site offered an exciting opportunity for the new owners, who are to reopen the home under the name Doddington Care Limited. 

Previous owner, Vanessa Cronk of Chelcare Holdings instructed Christie & Co to assist with the sale of the leasehold interest following the closure of the home. The new owners are well experienced in care and look forward to re-opening Doddington.

Tamara Gee, Senior Agent at Christie & Co who handled the sale comments, "We wish our clients all the best with their retirement from the care sector and the best of luck with any future business ventures. There was a lot of interest in the site from a variety of potential buyers, for a range of uses including hoteliers and developers, as well as existing care operators. We are excited that the site is to be reopened as a care home by the new owners and wish them every success in the future."
