Clann House care home in Lanivet, Cornwall, has been sold to local operators the Difford family.
The home was sold for an undisclosed price in a deal brokered by Christie & Co.
Clann House is registered to care for up to 34 elderly service users across 33 bedrooms. The property occupies a semi-rural location in Cornwall, with nearby Lanivet offering local amenities including a convenience store, a pub, and a church.
According to Christie & Co, within 2.5 kilometres of the home, the percentage of the population which is aged 65 years and over is 26.1 per cent –7.7 per cent higher than the UK average. Clann House has been owned by John and Susan Clarkson since 2007 and was recently brought to market as part of the sale of their specialist care group, Amber Care, in 2021.
Incoming owners the Difford family have operated care homes in Cornwall for nearly 30 years, with homes in Bude, Bodmin, and Launceston, as well as another in Lanivet.
Christie & Co’s Simon Harveysaid: “Having been associated with the Difford family for nearly 20 years, after selling Penmount Grange to them in the early 2000s and assisting with their acquisitions of Pen Inney and Red Gables, we are delighted to have helped them further expand. As they are operators in the area, Clann House fits well with their existing care home group and, therefore, had no hesitation in making the acquisition.
“Like many other recent sales and those ongoing, the sale of Clann House further demonstrates the extensive and varied activity that we are experiencing for all types of care homes across the region which remains positive despite the obvious head winds. We are grateful to John and Susan for the opportunity to act on their behalf, and we wish them well with their retirement.”
