Show more "Saddle Court is sheltered retirement housing, consisting of 34 one bedroom properties in the main building and four apartments and four bungalows in the grounds of the court along with a residents’ car parkThere are one bedroom apartments for either one person or two persons; however we do not have any two bedroom accommodation at the Court. There are guest rooms available should family members wish to stay.
The court is situated in an excellent position for local retail shops, pharmacy, GPs, dentists and a large supermarkets and retail park. Transport links are another advantage to the court with links to Wigan, St Helens, Southport, Liverpool and Manchester either by bus or train
We have both a gardener and window cleaner who attend the court regularly, and onsite cleaners for the communal areas. There are regular social events on court, which you are welcome to join in, but we also respect your right to privacy and to lead your own life.
We have a digital call system in place for safety and security and a full time Court Manager Monday – Friday 9am - 5pm. CCTV is also an added feature for security
The Court has recently had new shower/bathrooms and kitchens installed. A full court makeover is scheduled to take place in 2020." Show less
