Sale of former Dartmouth and Kingswear Community Hospital update

Published: 30 September 2024

Jake O’Donovan, Director of Workplace, Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust, said: “The former hospital site will go back to auction on 24 October 2024 following a review of the net book value by the district valuer. The guide price is now £1,250,000 to £1,300,000 with a reserve price in line with the NHS Estate code.

“We continue to have a number of interested parties who may make a bid on the site prior to auction.”

The former healthcare site, which is no longer needed for healthcare, needs to be sold to help fund the recently opened £5.4million health and wellbeing centre at the top of the town. This provided a new home for the GP practice and community nurses, therapists, social care workers and a number of community clinics as well as Dartmouth Caring and a pharmacy. The new centre supports a much more joined-up approach to health and wellbeing services for local people in state-of-the-art, purpose-designed facilities.
