Accommodation

We provide a wide variety of one- and two-bedroomed comfortable accommodation, two of which are specifically designed for those with limited mobility. We consider all ages, and we also consider small families for our two-bedroom units.

Residents benefit from independent living in an affordable and supportive community, close to local shops, schools and transport. Our beautiful and extensive grounds are available for residents to use and enjoy and individual raised troughs are available for residents who wish to cultivate their own vegetables.

From 1st April 2025 Maintenance Contributions for these properties are £750 per month (1-bed) and £950 per month (2-bed), plus water at £17.38 per month (single person) or £21.73 per month (couple). Residents on a low income are encouraged to apply for Universal Credit or Housing Benefit, as appropriate. Maintenance Contributions are reviewed annually.

For more information, see our FAQs. When we have vacancies available, they are advertised on the Current Vacancies page.
