A former nursing home in Lancashire has been put on the market.

Specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co, has been instructed to sell the former Ashlands Nursing Home in Newchurch.

Formerly trading as Ashlands Nursing Home, which was registered for up to 21 residents, this opportunity presents a three-storey Grade II-listed, brick-built property with 11 bedrooms and an abundance of original features.

It is set on 2.5-acres of private land in Newchurch, Rossendale, conveniently situated to the A56/M66 and is positioned equidistant from Blackburn and Burnley.

Sam Fazackerley, business agent for care at Christie & Co, who is handling the sale, said: “Ashlands represents an excellent chance to acquire a beautiful period detached property.

“Having previously been registered as a care setting, having C2 use, it could potentially once again be used as such, or converted back into residential accommodation, subject to any appropriate planning permissions being obtained.

“The property could also have potential as an SEN school, rehab facility, or specialist care facility subject to planning approval.”
