"The Orchard 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, you'll also enjoy the beautiful green landscaped gardens and the nearby historic town of Burnley. 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 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.

The Orchard offers a collection of forty, one-bedroom apartments situated in a private cul-de-sac just two miles from Burnley town centre with more local facilities like a local shop and post office even closer." Show less
