Barcroft Estates, through the Mercroft joint venture with Mercian Developments, has exchanged contracts with the landowner to secure the opportunity to deliver a new purpose-built care home at Farnham Common, Buckinghamshire. The approximately 4.8-acre site provides an opportunity for a 70-bed care home alongside ancillary uses within an attractive and established community.
The proposed development will provide high-quality specialist accommodation for older people in a well-connected location, helping to address the established need for additional care provision locally. By providing dedicated accommodation for older people, the scheme would also help to free up existing homes within the wider housing market for families and younger people, making a positive contribution to local housing supply. The site’s attractive setting, strong local amenities and excellent connections to the wider region make it an appealing location for a new care home.
