Show more "Originally built in the early 1990’s by Northampton Borough Council, Eleonore House provides independent living for elderly people. Recent major improvements have focused on the main entrance, reception, lounge, accommodation, accessibility and the external garden / relaxation areas.

The former external brickwork has been revitalised with a light coloured painted render finish and new signage to provide a modern and inviting main entrance. The residents lounge has been transformed into a modern and inviting space to enable residents to socialise together and with family. The addition of an external seating area with green screening and planters provides additional relaxation space outdoors. All the internal corridors have been plastered and painted to remove the dark brickwork and new flooring has been laid throughout. All wheelchair accessible accommodation and rear facing flats have provide level access to the two landscaped areas which offer a mix of material finishes, new seating, shade and games areas."
