Sherwood Court

Kettlethorpe, Yorkshire Metropolitan Housing

Description of Scheme

The scheme has been designed to offer older people over 60 years of age peace of mind and provide affordable accommodation with a range of housing needs.

Sherwood Court offers care and support available to customers living in residential settings with the independence, privacy, security and choice traditionally associated with renting or owning your own home.

Every apartment is linked to a 24 hour alarm system, to respond to emergencies.

Social events and activity programmes are open to all residents, as well as support to help residents gain access to other services including welfare rights and advocacy service.

Where Is It?

The scheme is situated in a residential area made up of modern detached and semi-detached properties. The scheme is also adjacent to a light industrial development and a nearby former Council estate, which was part of a large scale housing stock transfer to Wakefield & District Housing.
