A Powys care home is being sold for the first time in nearly four decades as its current owners have retired.
Glanenig Care Home in Talgarth, Powys, has been purchased by first-time buyers after being under the ownership of its founders for over thirty years.
The residential home has 33 registered residents in its care, having been established in 1986 by, Keith and Marjorie Bowen, who were later joined by their son Ian, who helped run the business.
After 38 years of running the business, the husband-and-wife team decided to sell the home and retire. They were able to sell the business for an undisclosed price after a confidential sales process with property advisor Christie & Co.

The former owners said: “We were proud to set up Glanenig Care Home back in 1986, and to have grown it into the established business it is today. However, after almost four decades, we decided it was time to retire from the sector and pass the business on.
“We’re pleased to give Malcolm and Alison the reins to Glanenig Care Home and wish them every success for the future.”
Going from one husband and wife duo to another, the home was purchased by Malcolm and Alison Burns, who say they are looking forward to running the home just as long as its previous owners and founders did.
They said: “We are delighted to be the new owners of Glanenig Care Home, which is such an important part of the Talgarth and Powys community.
“We have already started getting to know the wonderful residents and working with the fantastic team, led by Maureen, Dawn and Claire. Our plans are very ambitious, building on what is already there.
“We will start with resident/family consultations to help us shape our plans and create the best possible place for the residents to call their home.
“As a team of directors, we bring years of experience in leading businesses across the care sector and beyond, and we cannot wait to get started.
“We want to thank the Bowen family for everything they have done over the past 40 years and look forward to another 40.”
