Seahorses, 73 Draycott Road,Chiseldon, Swindon, SN4 0LT

This former dementia care home, located in the desirable village of Chiseldon, offers a substantial renovation opportunity. Set on a spacious plot with stunning views of the surrounding countryside, this detached building originally constructed in the 1950s is complemented by a modern five-bedroom extension added in 2009. The property features a total capacity for 20 clients spread across 18 bedrooms, with 15 boasting en suite bathrooms. Additionally, there is a versatile three-bedroom self-contained flat on the top floor, which was previously used as accommodation for staff or owners but could be transformed back into living quarters or potentially converted into additional registered bedrooms with the appropriate planning permissions. The ground floor includes essential areas such as reception spaces and common rooms alongside 12 bedrooms, while the first floor comprises six additional bedrooms and shared facilities. The presence of a lift adds accessibility to the first floor, and external access points provide some flexibility for different uses. This property ceased trading in July 2024 and comes with vacant possession, providing an excellent blank canvas for re-establishing it as a quality care facility or exploring redevelopment options such as residential apartments subject to necessary approvals. Previous plans to convert this property into five separate apartments are available for interested parties, highlighting its potential beyond just continued care home use.
