The site was identified by 376 as having potential for redevelopment and an approach to the landowner generated an opportunity to work in partnership with them. Under an option agreement, 376 Estates took over the headlease on the site and submitted a planning application to convert the site from its existing use as a warehouse facility to a 70-bed care home.
The four-storey building, which was positively supported by Didcot Town Council and also the Garden Town development team, provides 73 bedrooms, all of which are en-suite. The scheme has been designed with a modern feel to it and seeks to adhere to the Didcot Garden Town Development Plan. We were delighted to receive the award for ‘Best Use of Land’ at OxProp Fest 2019 for this development.
The site was developed in partnership with the Care Concern Group and was completed in 2022.
