Show more "Kirk House is a specially built community of self-contained homes, which provide additional support for those over 55, so you can continue to live independently.
You're not just surrounded by a community, this popular scheme centres around a picturesque courtyard garden. You'll benefit from a friendly scheme manager and a 24-hour alarm service if ever you have an emergency, providing security and peace of mind.
We provide a wide range of facilities, including a communal lounge & Wi-Fi, a garden and on-site laundry, parking bays, scooter store and guest room for visitors. Sometimes you may want to be on your own and other times you may want to be sociable and enjoy the company of likeminded people whether in the lounge or at one of our scheme events.
Kirk House offers a collection of forty-eight, one-bedroom apartments based near the vibrant town of Accrington, home to the 19th century Victorian Market Hall and popular Arndale shopping centre.
