Specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co, has announced the sale of a 68-bedroom care home in Burgess Hill, West Sussex, brought forward by developer, Frontier Estates.

The site extends to 1.57 acres and is located to the south of Kingsway in the West Sussex town of Burgess Hill.

Designed by Broadway Malyan, the proposed scheme comprises a 68-bed care home over three-storey accommodation, with an anticipated GIA of 60.4sq m per resident.

The planned home will be surrounded by landscaped gardens which include a range of seating and patio spaces, woodland and wildflower planting, and a kitchen garden.
