Description

40 BEDROOM CARE HOME in Belper, Derbyshire for Sale.
Interested potential buyers are sought who can demonstrate proven experience and expertise in the running of CQC registered residential care or nursing homes to a GOOD or OUTSTANDING standard. This fully operational care home is to be sold on a SALE OF GOING CONCERN BASIS and is offered on leasehold terms.
Ada Belfield Centre is a purpose-built, 40-bed care home, with all rooms featuring en-suite bathrooms. The property is only five years old and is therefore exceptionally well fitted and equipped throughout. It holds a CQC rating of GOOD. The centre sits on a 1.36-acre site in Belper town centre, offering convenient road links to nearby towns, public transport connections, and ample parking for staff and visitors.
The substantial two-storey building - served by a lift - comprises four wings, each containing ten bedrooms. All bedrooms are of uniform size, with the exception of four slightly larger rooms (two on the ground floor and two on the first floor). Each wing includes a communal bathroom, toilets, activity room, linen store, and guest lounge. Additional facilities include two medication rooms (one on each floor), ground and first floor offices. First floor hair salon, guest bedroom (currently used for storage), multi-faith room, staff changing rooms, showers and large assessment kitchen. Dedicated 42 space car park for the use of the care home and cafe.
Included within the sale is a 60-cover cafe that is open to the public and shares a well-equipped kitchen with the main home. This is a highly valued amenity for staff and visitors, requiring minimal additional staffing while providing supplementary income. The town’s library, forming part of the same building, is also included within the sale and will be subject to a leaseback arrangement to the council at zero rent payable. The main reception area contains public toilets, baby changing facilities and changing places.
The property also benefits from a beautifully maintained central garden with a water feature, solar panels, a plant / boiler room, a state-of-the-art sprinkler system.
The business will transfer under TUPE regulations, and all employees will automatically move from the seller to the buyer. Their existing terms and conditions of employment will transfer with them, and the buyer will be required to provide a pension scheme that is equivalent to or better than the current LGPS scheme.
The care home will be openly marketed for an eight week period to 30th January 2026, during which expressions of interest should be lodged with our office. More detailed information packs will be made available to interested parties on receipt of a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement. Viewing arrangements to be advised. Formal bids (with proof of funding) must be submitted no later than midnight, Friday 30th January 2026.
