Retirement Village - Copthorne

101 self contained dwellings for a community of older residents

The accommodation provides a mixture of 1, 2, and 3 bedroom apartments within 2 storey blocks set on their own generous plots, and single storey bungalows with private front and back gardens. The buildings are arranged organically around the site to respond to the existing natural features. Vehicular access is from a central spine road and pedestrian access from smaller footpaths.

All of the dwellings incorporate open-plan kitchen dining rooms, bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and ensuite bathrooms. All accommodation has level access with shallow gradient ramps externally and passenger lifts to the second storey apartments.

At the heart of the scheme is a Central Hub building which provides complementary amenities such as a restaurant, hair salon, gymnasium, yoga studio and swimming pool. It also houses the management and care teams who ensure the management of the community and the welfare of the individual residents.

The Lake provides a focal point from the Hub building and the main communal and activity spaces (Restaurant, Gym, Yoga rooms) will open out onto a paved terrace overlooking this feature.
