Construction is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2027, with opening planned for the fourth quarter of 2028. The home will have en‑suite wetrooms, communal lounges, a café and landscaped gardens.
Strategic context
Country Court has expanded through new openings in North Yorkshire and the West Midlands and the acquisition and refurbishment of a property in Wiltshiret, as recorded in its accounts for the year to March 2025. It now operates 49 homes across England. The acquisition of Iwade site creates an opportunity to expand that network, while Frontier exits after its site‑selection and planning work.
