A FORMER Wincanton care home is up for sale – with a guide price of under £500,000.

Carrington House, off Carrington Way in the town centre, is on the market with property firm Greenslade Taylor Hunt (GTH).

And the agent said the 0.4-hectare site offered a range of development opportunities, subject to planning.

“Carrington House presents a rare opportunity to purchase a property in a prominent position, within the development limits of Wincanton,” a spokesperson said.

“It is within easy walking distance of a range of facilities and amenities that Wincanton has to offer.

“It is also within reach of the Cranbrook Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the attractions of Stourhead, one of the National Trust’s much-loved Westcountry properties.”
