Show more "Paxfold is a low rise, modern-style building that originally opened its doors in 1979. In 2015 it was redeveloped and now the scheme comprises of the 41 bed-sit flats and a further 28 new one bed flats for older people over the age of fifty-five. The scheme includes the provision of new communal facilities including: a new lounge, kitchen, hairdressers, laundry, offices, guest room and a training /meeting room, lifts to all three floors.Two of the flats are built to full wheelchair standard. The remaining 26 flats are built to Lifetime Homes, which means that the dwellings can be easily adapted for the tenant throughout their lifetime, as the space standards are more generous and can accommodate future mobility requirement such as wheelchair use if needed. The construction is more robust, so grab rails or hoists can be installed if this becomes a future requirement.
The development also includes a woodland area that adjoins the development. Access for residents from Paxfold into the woodland is achieved by an accessible footpath." Show less
