Beautifully designed for the way you live

A home should be something you’re proud of, somewhere that feels right the moment you walk in.

Our one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments are light, comfortable, and easy to live in — made for good company, quiet moments, and everything in between. Every detail has been thought through to make daily life easier:
  • Fully fitted kitchens with waist-height appliances.
  • Ensuite walk-in showers with easy-to-use fittings (grab rails can be added if needed)
  • Wide corridors and doorways for wheelchair access and freedom of movement
  • Bright, open-plan layouts filled with natural light
  • Finishes that feel modern yet familiar

Security & Peace of Mind

Designed for comfort, backed by care

Feeling safe shouldn’t mean feeling watched. At Birchgrove, it’s about quiet reassurance, knowing there’s always someone nearby, without anyone hovering over you.

Every neighbourhood has a friendly 24-hour team on-site, along with a concierge who’s happy to help with the little things that make life run smoothly. Entry is secure with key fob access, and discreet cameras keep a gentle eye on the grounds.

If friends or family come to visit, you’re welcome to host them in your home whenever you like. For longer stays or when you’d appreciate a little extra space, many neighbourhoods also offer a guest suite, along with parking for those driving down. Every detail is there so you can simply get on with living, comfortably, securely, and entirely your way.

Innovation that feels personal

Our discreet technology offers peace of mind without ever feeling intrusive. Birchgrove leads the way in safety and innovation across retirement living in the UK — not for show, but because it matters. We were the first to install Nobi smart lamps across our neighbourhoods: intelligent lighting that adjusts gently to your day and can detect a fall, alerting our team if help is needed.

Every apartment also includes wearable technology for direct contact with the team in an emergency. These thoughtful innovations don’t get in the way of life; they quietly support your independence, helping each day feel simpler, safer, and more connected.

inclusive rent

Everything you need, all in one simple monthly payment

Owning a home can be wonderful, but it also comes with its fair share of to-do lists, unexpected costs, and worries. Renting at Birchgrove is refreshingly simple. You can forget about maintenance, service charges, and surprise expenses.

Instead, you’ll have the freedom to enjoy life on your own terms — your own apartment, your own routine, and a friendly team nearby if you ever need a hand.

Our inclusive rent keeps things straightforward. One monthly payment takes care of the essentials, from the big costs to the little things that keep life running smoothly. It’s a simpler, more flexible way to live, giving you time and freedom to focus on what matters most to you.

Your rent includes:
  • All utilities: electricity, heating, water, broadband, and Wi-Fi
  • One hour of domestic assistance each week
  • Building maintenance and repairs
  • 24-hour team presence and concierge
  • Security and emergency response
  • Access to all shared amenities, gardens, and events
