The grounds at Lilleshall are a particular delight.

The estate consists of 32 one-bedroomed self-contained apartments and 5 first floor apartments in the main hall. All first floor apartments are accessed by a flight of stairs. All the apartments have their own front doors and all are set in a picturesque location. We currently have a programme of upgrading the kitchens in our apartments and a number of apartments have assisted entry systems within their bathrooms.

The Scheme Manager (warden) and Maintenance Manager work onsite from 9 am to 5 pm Monday to Friday and there is a 24 hour community alarm service. There is a communal lounge with regular activities, organised by the Residents Committee, such as bingo, coffee mornings, fish and chip lunches, a laundry, gardens and allotments.

There is a bus stop 200 yards away, and there are shops and post office in the next-door village of Muxton. The local GP practise is 2 miles away.

Our aim is to provide sheltered housing for people who have worked in the distribution of newspapers and magazines in the UK, and their immediate dependents." Show less
