A FORMER rehabilitation hospital near Salisbury has gone up for sale.

South Newton Hospital was a venue used by adults with neurological conditions, such as brain injury or degenerative disorders.

In March 2022, it was rated as ‘inadequate’ by Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspectors after a visit to the facility and closed in July last year.

Now, the six-acre site is up for sale with agents Christie & Co.

It is listed as a “vacant former care home facility with refurbishment or development potential (subject to planning consent) in an attractive Wiltshire location”.

“South Newton presents an excellent opportunity to reopen as a care facility, with 81 beds available for immediate use (41 of which could carry either a care or hospital registration), and a further 50 following refurbishment,” it said.

“The site is also suitable for a variety of alternative uses, such as a dementia community or retirement homes, subject to the necessary planning consents and refurbishment.”

The complex is made up a number of buildings, each of which was a nursing home operated as a separate ward previously, with the main building also featuring a physio pool, suites and a gym.

“Throughout the site there is parking for 101 vehicles, including access and parking for deliveries and emergency vehicles,” the listing added.
