Chiltern View is a substantial detached former care home in Dunstable, offered freehold. The building provides 33 bedrooms (28 en suite), lift access, basement laundry and substantial communal space across ground, first and second floors, giving immediate capacity for another care operator or supported living provider. An EPC rating B and mains gas central heating are positive operational features for a new operator.
The property is vacant and closed, so purchasers should plan for recommissioning works before reopening. The building dates from the 1930–1949 period with solid brick walls (no insulation assumed) and double glazing; fabric improvements or insulation upgrades may be needed to meet modern standards or specific regulatory requirements.
Planning consent already exists for a single-storey side extension and new entrance lobby (CB/22/04736/FULL), which helps expansion plans. Potential alternative uses include specialist care, supported living, children's day nursery or SEN provision (subject to planning), and it may interest social housing or redevelopment parties — but any change of use will require formal permissions.
This is a high-capacity property with clear reuse potential but also with practical workstreams: building recommissioning, possible internal refurbishment, and any statutory consents for a new use. It suits operators or investors able to manage conversion, regulatory compliance and running-cost considerations.
