Independent living in our cottages.

Comfortable. Spacious. Affordable.

Powley has a range of accommodation choices that allow for completely independent living through to flexi-serviced apartments, rest home and hospital care. This gives couples the chance to stay close should their needs be different.

We have 46 cottages, with pretty English gardens and serviced by three large multi-garaging spaces. The village is small so it’s just a stroll away from neighbours and recreational facilities.

You live with complete independence, and remain responsible for your own household tasks and meals, while we take care of all the outdoor maintenance. If you would like more help, we offer a range of service and care packages delivered to you in your home.

If you require assisted living options we also have a choice of high quality flexi-services apartments – designed for people who value their independence but enjoy having easy access to additional care and support services, a rest home and a hospital on-site.
