Our sheltered/extra care housing consists of ten ground floor and nine first floor unfurnished flats, each with a separate external entrance. The ground floor of the main house is given over to communal space for meals, meetings and other social activities. A room with computer and printer is also available for use by our Tenants, who also have access to the gardens and the facilities of a craft room and a laundry. Guest accommodation is available for a nightly charge.

Central heating is by gas, and cooking by electricity, both services being individually metered. All flats are wired for telephones, have a communal TV aerial and Satellite Dish, and are fitted with a warden call system. There is also parking space for a limited number of cars.

Craft Room

The Craft Room is another common room, a place to work on hobbies, or to share your skills with others

Laundry

The Laundry adjoins the Main House and contains two washing machines and two tumble driers. Some tenants prefer to book a regular weekly session to use the machines; others find it more convenient to take “pot luck”, as the machines are not much used in the afternoons. The staff are always on hand to assist.
