Construction of £13 million care home begins

A construction firm has begun work on a care home scheme.

Nottingham-headquartered Clegg Construction has broken ground on a £13 million development near Milton Keynes for Hampton Healthcare, part of the Rochmills Group. 

The three-storey, 96-bed facility is being built behind Woburn Sands Emporium Garden Centre in Wavendon and will feature a rooftop garden, sky bar, cinema, private dining and an entertainment suite. 

Michael Sims, managing director of Clegg Construction, said: “We were very pleased to have been appointed by Rochmills Group to build this new care home, which will provide modern facilities for residents from the local community.

“Clegg Construction has significant experience of building new care homes, having completed schemes across the country in places such as Peterborough, Loughborough, Bromsgrove, Norwich, Littleover, Tadcaster and Birstall, in Leicestershire.

“It is always exciting to see work beginning on site on a new scheme and we look forward to developing this facility along with our partners and adding it to our extensive portfolio in this sector.”

Construction is expected to be finished by the end of 2026.

Other members of the construction team include APC Architects, engineers Ridge and Partners LLP and employers agent CS2 Limited.
