A £20m retirement community called Sundew Court has opened in Newport, Shropshire.

Sundew Court, a £20m retirement community in Newport, has officially opened its doors. The development is the first of its kind in Shropshire and features 61 apartments for rent and 16 bungalows. The site also includes the Happy Quail restaurant and bar, a large lounge area, library, salon, multi-function room and extensive gardens, with a 24/7 onsite care team available to residents.

Later living specialist Untold Living has officially opened Swan and Dove House, which make up 55 per cent of the community. These sections comprise 40 apartments and seven bungalows, following a handover from contractors McPhillips.

General manager Adrian Pickard said the opening was 'a moment the whole team has been working towards'. He described Sundew Court as a community where people could make their home in later life without added worries or pressures, and noted that the site is an independent retirement community rather than a care home.
