Moorfield Court extra care housing

Rented properties
Your home will be self-contained with your own front door allowing the privacy and independence you expect. It will include a lounge, bedroom areas and a kitchen with fully-fitted units. With lots of storage space, it will be easy to maintain and you will be able to give your new home a personal touch by decorating it as you wish.
Most properties have a telephone point and you will have the choice of arranging broadband and digital or satellite TV.
You will want to feel safe in your new home and that’s why each of our properties is fitted with an emergency alarm.
There are letting restrictions at this scheme which means you or a close family member must live within Southwell, surrounding villages or within Newark and Sherwood Borough Council to be considered. Please contact us for more details.

Leasehold properties
If you are over 60 years old and wanting to own a retirement property without the burden of maintenance and repairs, Anchor-managed properties may be the answer. Anchor estates are all very different. They range from a small cul–de-sac of six bungalows to a large estate of 86 apartments. Most are set in pleasant landscaped settings.
At each estate there will be an estate manager who can act as the first point of contact for any queries that residents may have and offer help to access any local services.
The letting restrictions detailed above do not apply for leasehold properties.

Our retirement properties have a real community feel where people interact with their neighbours, families and friends, continuing to do all the things they love.

You’ll find our housing with extra care locations are thriving communities, offering a variety of social activities, to take part in as and when you wish.
