New care home set for Derbyshire Town following site sale

Specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co, has announced the sale of a development site with planning permission for an 81-bedroom care home in Clay Cross, Derbyshire.

The scheme, delivered by Minton Care Ltd, has been prepared for an 81-bedroom, three-storey care home development with an anticipated GIA of circa 4,568 sqm, equating to 56.3 sqm per resident. The care home has been thoughtfully designed to comprise a number of resident amenities including all en suite bedrooms, a range of lounge and dining spaces, a hair salon, a gym, a library, a cinema and activity room, a café, and landscaped gardens.

The site is located in the historic Derbyshire town of Clay Cross; circa 7.6 kilometres south of Chesterfield, circa 10 kilometres north of Alfreton, and just a short distance to the east of the Peak District National Park.

Following a confidential sales process by Christie & Co, the site has been purchased by LNT Care Developments which has plans to complete the home in 2025.

Keeley Sharp, Strategic Land Director at LNT Care Developments, comments, “We are delighted to be developing a 66-bed LNT care home in Derbyshire this year. Once complete in Q2 of 2025, the luxury facility will provide a much-needed choice of quality care for the surrounding communities whilst complementing our existing and emerging pipeline within the region.”

Sara Hartill, Associate Director – Healthcare Investment & Development at Christie & Co, comments, “After a competitive marketing process, we are delighted to have sold this market-leading site in Clay Cross, Derbyshire, to LNT. The site benefits from a superb location within the town and will undoubtedly provide excellent care for the local community. We look forward to visiting the finished scheme in due course and working with Minton Care Ltd going forward as they bring further quality care development opportunities to the market.”

The development site was sold for an undisclosed price.
