Property description

Abbeyfield Houses are attractive homes accommodating residents in their own bed-sitting rooms with en-suite facilities and emergency call alarms. Residents will enjoy the use of a communal lounge, dining room and attractive gardens. A warm and homely atmosphere has been created by staff and local volunteers who are linked to the house. You may struggle to prepare meals, clean, or perhaps feel that you have better things to do with your time? At Abbeyfield Houses these services are available at an affordable cost. At least one, and often two, home-cooked meals are provided daily and served in the communal lounge.
