WORK is underway to bring a purpose-built but barely-used care home in Wincanton into use.
Bupa is taking on the property, off Dykes Way, as The Bridles – with an opening date advertised as early 2026.
“Located in Wincanton, this luxurious new home has superior standards of design and interior finishes,” Bupa said. “With smart technology and thoughtful spaces, it’s a place for connection and comfort.”
The healthcare firm touts 73 en-suite bedrooms at the property, “equipped to meet a range of care needs”.
In September last year, your Leveller revealed how the home was closing having only ever welcomed four tenants under previous owner, Cornerstone Healthcare.
The £10 million facility was put up for sale after a troubled birth – with work coming to a halt in 2022 amid the collapse of construction firm, Midas.
