£1m building on sale as care home closes
The Herald
|March 17, 2026
A HISTORIC Plymouth building last used as an old people's home has been put up for sale at nearly £1m.
The former Retreat Care Home in Belle Vue Road, Hooe
(GOOGLE)
The Retreat Care Home, in Hooe, closed at the end of September with new homes having to be found for about 20 people living there.
Two months later the company that ran it, Sunshine Care Ltd, collapsed into liquidation after being unable to pay its bills, leaving huge debts and workers owed hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Now, specialist business property adviser Christie & Co has been instructed to sell the building's freehold with an asking price of £975,000.
It said the impressive Grade II-listed building is believed to have been built as a dower house, where a widow would have lived in the mid-1700s. The building has 21 bedrooms, of which 16 are en-suite.
