Paxfold

Paxfold is a low-rise, modern-style building that originally opened its doors in 1979. In 2015 it was redeveloped and now the scheme comprises of the original 41 studio apartments and a further 28 new one-bed flats for older people over the age of fifty-five. The scheme includes the provision of new communal facilities including: a new lounge, kitchen, hairdressers, laundry, offices, guest room, and a training /meeting room. There are lifts to all three floors.

Two of the flats are built to full wheelchair standard. The remaining 26 flats are built to Lifetime Homes standard, which means that the dwellings can be easily adapted for the tenant throughout their lifetime, as the space standards are more generous and can accommodate future mobility requirements such as wheelchair use. The construction is also specifically designed to support the installation of grab rails or even hoists can be installed if this becomes a future requirement.

Paxfold was designed to meet the Code for Sustainable Homes (CFSH) level four, with enhanced ecological and energy efficiency. The scheme incorporates high levels of insulation, the use of photovoltaic panels on the roof (converting sunlight to electricity), and water-saving measures. These measures help to make the building cheaper to run leading to more economical heating and water bills.

Paxfold also includes a woodland area that adjoins the development. Access for residents from Paxfold into the woodland is achieved by an accessible footpath, and the garden itself is an ecological design to enhance nature and create a peaceful setting for residents
