Nottingham developer reveals apartments plan at care home site

A residential scheme in on the way to an area of Mansfield after part of a care home site was acquired.

Nottingham-based developer ALB Group has bought part of the grounds of the Barchester Forest Care Home, in Southwell Road West, Mansfield, where some of the boarded-up buildings will be converted into 22 flats.

It comes after the main care facility, which is still operating, underwent an upgrade in recent years.

The site has been bought by ALB for an undisclosed sum, with help from appointed agent, Nottingham-based Christie and Co.

Arran Bailey, managing director of ALB, said: “We are delighted to have completed on the sale of this scheme.

“We bought the building as it was a great opportunity to bring life back into a vacant premises and to spruce up this part of Mansfield. This is the first care home we have transformed and we are raring to get started.

“We are pleased to be able to offer another accommodation option, with easy access to one of the main thoroughfares of the town.”

The scheme is expected to be completed in early 2022.
