Accommodation
Redwood House is a beautiful detached house in a rural setting, providing accommodation
for seven residents in seven single bedrooms, each fully furnished. The home has
the additional benefit of having two en-suite bedrooms (one with a shower room
and the other with a bathroom), one additional shared bathroom and one additional
shared shower room.
There is a large lounge which has patio windows overlooking the rear garden and
the abundance of communal space in the home allows for separate dining areas to
be used, if required. There is a well equipped kitchen and a separate laundry
room. We have an attractive, peaceful and secluded rear garden with a large patio
area which lends itself well to seasonal activities - for example; barbecues,
garden parties, sports, etc. There is also a daycentre room within the annex area
of the Service. It is also used as an area where service users can develop independent
living skills individually or together
