Type of property

At Moorgate Mill apartments, people come together as a community. There are two shared buildings, Moorgate Place and Mill House. Living in a shared building means people benefit from a vibrant network of staff and friends, as well as enjoying the independence of their own apartment.

Moorgate Place has twelve fully accessible apartments, while Mill House has eight. Each has one bedroom, an open-plan kitchen and living room, and a wet room style bathroom. There is also an accessible, shared garden with a patio and a BBQ for people to use when the weather is good.

Assistive technology includes an intercom system, CCTV, a fob system on doors, and automatic blinds and lights.

Residents are allowed pets - we currently have three cats and a dog onsite.
