Type of property

At The Sidings apartments, people come together as a community. Living in this shared building means people benefit from a vibrant network of staff and friends, as well as enjoying independence in their own apartments when they need it too.

There are eight one-bedroom apartments, each with an open-plan kitchen, dining room and living room, and a wet room-style bathroom. There is a communal area with a television, a Nintendo Wii, sofas and a small table for people to socialise and relax. The Sidings also has an accessible patio area for people to spend time outside when the weather is good.

The property also has four adjoining bungalows, each with one bedroom, an open-plan kitchen, dining room and living room, and a wet room-style bathroom. All bungalows have doors leading onto a private courtyard.

Assistive technology includes an intercom system, a Tunstall connected care system, and CCTV throughout to ensure people’s safety. All bungalows and ground floor apartments are wheelchair accessible.

Pets are welcome here - we currently have three dogs and two cats onsite.
