Sandford Station is an exceptional retirement care village, a place for 150 residents to live with fulfilment and independence.

Nesting in the heart of rural North Somerset, this latest development from the St Monica Trust has its own unique charm. It’s built on the site of Sandford Old Station, part of Somerset’s historic ‘Strawberry Line’, now a much enjoyed route for local walkers. Historic station buildings like the Station Master’s House have been carefully renovated, converted to high quality, three bedroom homes.

One, two and three bedroom apartments provide real choice for residents around the village. Properties are available close to central facilities, sheltered from the elements beneath an airy glass atrium. Inside, a restaurant, activity centre, hairdressing salon, health spa and specialist gym are just some of the facilities that can be found in this building.

Enjoying countryside views, Sandford Station has plenty of space for outdoor activities with communal gardens as well as allotments for residents. The croquet pitch and bowls green provide a social heart. The Pavilion with its sheltered veranda is a perfect place to meet friends after a match or to sit in the sunshine and watch the games.

But the key to making the most of life is more than bricks and mortar. Supporting people who want to maintain their independence and stay in their own homes is a priority of the St Monica Trust and help is available to every resident through flexible care and support. Much more than a warden service, it involves assistance with domestic chores as well as help with bathing or dressing. This service can be accessed by everyone, giving residents just the support they need, whenever they might need it.
