" This is an Almshouse residence within our own private grounds at Lily Croft, Bradford BD8 8QY.

Almshouses are unfurnished houses designed with older people in mind. We offer housing in a comfortable, affordable, private setting where residents can enjoy independent living with a certain amount of security.

Although residents are not 'tenants' in the legal sense (there is no tenancy agreement), they occupy their Almshouse for as long as they need it and remain eligible (this can be for life), subject to Terms & Conditions. We do not offer fixed term or temporary accommodation." Show less
