A spectacular setting
Park Manor Care Home is set within beautiful grounds with breathtaking mature gardens. Built more than 150 years ago this thoughtfully refurbished Victorian period building provides residents with a simply stunning home interior featuring William Morris fitted furniture, intricate plasterwork and retaining many of its period features.
The home offers a range of communal spaces, including a dining room opening onto its own terrace, a choice of comfortable lounges, and a Victorian conservatory to soak up the sun all year round. The building has changed over the years with a modern extension added in the 1980s which compliments the period building and its grounds.
