Fourways Care Home is situated in the popular seaside town of Sidmouth, overlooking the dramatic coastline which is a much-loved feature among residents. It occupies an attractive period building that has been extended over the years to provide accommodation for up to 21 elderly residents, with all rooms offering en suite facilities. The home is arranged over ground and first floors and is set back from Glen Road by a formal garden and driveway.

The home’s former owners, Stewart and Rachel Evans-White, have decided to retire after operating the home for over two decades. The home has been in the family for almost four decades.

Following a confidential sales process with Simon Harvey at Christie & Co, Fourways Care Home has been sold to Beechcroft Homes Ltd, a family-run business which has acquired the shares in the Limited Company operating the care home, along with the associated domiciliary care agency. This acquisition reflects their commitment to maintaining continuity of both services for clients and the wider Sidmouth community.

Stewart and Rachel, the former owners of Fourways Care Home, comment, “The new shareholders in the company have turned out to be very accommodating and made the transition smooth. We wish them all the very best of luck and are confident that the business will thrive under their ownership and management.”

Nilesh Patel, Director at Beechcroft Homes Ltd, comments, “We are thrilled to announce the acquisition of Fourways in Sidmouth, thus expanding our commitment to providing exceptional care and support to our residents. The new facility will enhance our ability to serve the community and offer a wider range of services tailored to the needs of our residents. This acquisition marks a significant step in our growth strategy, allowing us to better serve our community and uphold our mission of providing high-quality care. We look forward to integrating this new facility into our family and continuing to deliver the best possible experience for our residents and their families.”

Simon Harvey, Senior Director – Care at Christie & Co, comments, "Beechcroft Homes Ltd is a family-run business with two generations involved. They bring significant experience as care home operators in Devon, having acquired their first home, Moorgate near Yelverton in West Devon, through Christie & Co in October 2022.”

Fourways Care Home was sold for an undisclosed price.
