Council appoints Ernest Wilson to offer lease on Belper's Ada Belfield care home
Derbyshire County Council has instructed business and commercial property agent Ernest Wilson, part of Eddisons, to offer a commercial lease on the Ada Belfield care home facility in Belper.
The centre, which is registered for 40 residents, will be sold on the basis that any potential buyer must have a proven track record of running care homes rated Good or Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). No guide price is being issued, and the property will be marketed until 30 January, by which point expressions of interest and offers must be submitted for consideration.
Located in Belper town centre, the two-storey Ada Belfield Centre is a modern, purpose-built residential care home constructed just five years ago. The property is well equipped with high-quality facilities, including a 60-seat café open to the public and landscaped gardens across its 1.4-acre site. Belper’s public library, which forms part of the same building, will be subject to a leaseback arrangement with the council on a rent-free basis.
Mark Czajka, director at Ernest Wilson, said: “Ernest Wilson has a strong track record and a deep understanding of the unique sensitivities involved in the residential care sector, which is why Derbyshire County Council appointed us to offer a lease on the Ada Belfield Centre.
“Our focus throughout the marketing process is on securing an experienced operator with a proven record of delivering high-quality, CQC-rated care. By taking a careful and considered approach, our aim is to support a smooth transition that ensures continuity of excellent, compassionate care for residents, while safeguarding the long-term future of this modern, purpose-built facility.”
