Residential care home to be sold out of administration for £1.55m

The former Leicestershire home of the Earl of Wilton is up for sale with an asking price of £1.55m.

Property adviser, Christie & Co, has been instructed to sell the Grade II listed former residential care home, Egerton Lodge, in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire.

Originally built in 1829 for the Earl of Wilton and used as a base for hunting and socialising, Egerton Lodge was turned into a residential care home in 1987, caring for residents across 44 bedrooms. In June 2023, the home went into administration and business operations were taken over by Leonard Curtis Business Solutions Group.

Rosie Turner, senior business agent – care at Christie & Co, who is handling the sale, said: “I’m pleased to be marketing this vacant home for the Administrators at Leonard Curtis Business Solutions Group. This impressive, well-located, 44-bedroom property presents a great opportunity for care operators looking to expand their portfolios, or for alternate healthcare use, subject to the necessary planning.”
