Description

Description

The site comprises a large main building that features the majority of the day space including training rooms and staff rooms. The middle of the main building houses the majority of the day space, with 3 corners of the building housing 2 storey units with ensuite bedrooms and lounges. There is also a one storey extension on the 4th corner of the building that is home to some of the flat. The portacabin block is not included in the sale and will be removed prior to completion.

In addition, there are also two self contained bungalows and the cottage, which is a newer purpose built unit that has 4 bedrooms with wet rooms.

Location

Healthlinc Former Hospital, is located on Cliff Road in Welton, a well‑established Lincolnshire village approximately six miles north of Lincoln. The area offers a strong mix of local amenities, including shops, schools, healthcare services and open spaces.
The property lies close to the A46, providing direct links to Lincoln, Newark‑on‑Trent and the A1, with further connections to nearby villages such as Dunholme, Scothern and Nettleham. This ensures excellent accessibility for staff, visitors and service users.
The surrounding area is predominantly residential, combining modern and traditional housing with community uses. The site benefits from prominence along Cliff Road, yet maintains privacy through its layout and mature boundaries.
Overall, the location supports a wide range of potential care, clinical, community or institutional uses, strengthened by strong transport links and proximity to Lincoln.

Internal Details

The property comprises a substantial former healthcare complex arranged over ground and first floors, together with a self‑contained cottage and two additional bungalows. Accommodation includes a broad mix of bedrooms, en‑suite facilities, communal lounges, clinical rooms, kitchens, staff areas and specialist therapy spaces.

Ground Floor – Main Building
The ground floor provides 13 en‑suite bedrooms and two one‑bedroom flats. One bedroom is 10 sqm but adjoins a 22 sqm lounge; all others measure 12 sqm or above. Supporting accommodation includes multiple lounges (12–27 sqm), a 61 sqm Games Room, psychology room, doctors’ office, treatment room, nurse station, multi‑sensory room, domestic skills room, arts & crafts room, various stores, several kitchens (5–17 sqm), laundry rooms (7–9 sqm), W.C.s, a reception/waiting area, administration offices and staff facilities.

First Floor – Main Building
The first floor contains 18 bedrooms, 17 of which have en‑suite facilities. Six bedrooms are below 12 sqm but each includes an en‑suite. Communal areas include lounges (16–40 sqm), kitchens (6–16 sqm), pantries, dining spaces, stores, W.C.s and additional residential support rooms. This level mirrors the ground floor in offering flexible multi‑occupancy accommodation suited to supported living or clinical use.

Cottage Building
The cottage includes a ground‑floor hallway (11 sqm), kitchen (17 sqm), shared bathroom, storage and living rooms. The first floor provides four en‑suite bedrooms, creating a fully self‑contained unit ideal for independent living or staff accommodation.

Additional Buildings
Two self‑contained bungalows are also situated on the site, further enhancing the flexibility of the accommodation offering.

Fixtures & Fittings

The home is vacant and therefore no loose fixture and fittings are included.

Process

Offers are invited on a vacant possession basis only. Viewings will be conducted as appropriate and accompanied by Christie & Co. All interested parties must provide proof of funds with their offer and be able to adhere to a strict purchase timeline.

The Opportunity

This is an opportunity to acquire a vacant former specialist healthcare facility on a site of over 3 acres in the popular village of Welton, just north of Lincoln.

Previously operating as part of a multi‑service care campus, the property was registered with the CQC for independent mental

health services and residential care for adults with learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions, physical disabilities and sensory impairments. It has historically supported a wide range of specialist clinical and residential functions, including personal care, treatment, complex‑needs support and secure environments for individuals detained under the Mental Health Act.

Welton is experiencing continued residential growth, including a recently approved 109‑home development, reflecting strong local demand and an expanding community.
With its scale, established care infrastructure and location in a growing East Midlands village, the site offers a rare opportunity for operators, developers or investors seeking a large, adaptable property with strong future potential.

Regulatory

The property is not registered with CQC and offers subject to registration will not be considered.
