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
