A former 32-bed care home in Nottingham is set to be turned into flats after a developer completed a six-figure deal to buy the building.
Nottingham-based property development company, Hockley Developments has bought Millbeck House, in Arnold, and has plans to convert the building into 23 self-contained apartments.
Situated in the Killisick Estate, the 7,895 sq ft property attracted interest from a variety of sources for both continued and different uses, with several entering the initial bid process.
Craig Straw, director at Innes England, who acted as agent on the deal, said: “The confidence in the location made this a highly sought-after site.
“Following a competitive bidding process, in which we received a number of credible offers, we are delighted to have successfully sold this asset to Hockley Developments who have an excellent track record of converting these assets into much-needed homes.
“The sheer volume of bids and enquiries demonstrates the on-going confidence in the Nottingham market.”
Jo Callaway, sales manager at Hockley Developments, said: “We have been keen on this property for a number of months and are delighted to have completed this purchase.
“We will be able to deliver new housing in an area that has a real shortage of one and two-bed properties.

Work on the site is expected to start soon, with the first homes due to be completed by May next year.
