Located within the affluent town of Sonning Common in the county of Oxfordshire, this proposed retirement community offers a range of living choices overlooking the natural beauty of the Cotswold countryside.

Sonning Common sits on the edge of the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the scheme is set within a 11.6 acre site on the north eastern edge of the town. Therefore, the proposals required a considered design approach that sits naturally within its environment and limits impact on the important green edge of the town.

The Widmore Park scheme will provide 133 state-of-the-art age-appropriate properties, as well as impressive communal facilities open to residents and the local community. These will include a restaurant, café, hairdressers, cinema, library and craft rooms, as well as a wellness centre comprising a swimming pool, steam room, sauna, two treatment rooms and a gym with a fitness studio.

By creating vibrant communities carefully designed for the needs of older people and focused on promoting an active lifestyle, Inspired Villages aims to improve the holistic well-being for the over 65s and support them in living healthier, independent lives for longer.
