Kenwood House

Kenwood House is located near to the city Centre of Hanley. It is a short distance to the city’s train station and a bus ride to the towns near Stoke, Newcastle, Leek, Longton and Tunstall. We have a company vehicle that can be used to transport our service users to activities or outings too.

The local college is located just across the road from the home, along with multi-cultural shops and Asda to enable our service users to use the local facilities to do shopping and integrate with the local community.
Just a short walk is the canal and Hanley Park where we can take walks and watch the local wildlife, see the seasons change in the gardens, use the park facilities and enjoy entertainment that goes on in the park throughout the year.

Our home comprises of 6 bedrooms- 5 bedrooms are ensuite and the 6th bedroom as access to the communal bathroom. Four bedrooms are located on the first floor, and two bedrooms are on the ground floor. Our capacity is a 6 bedded location. There are two lounge areas, one is used to have quieter time away from the hub of the home and a conservatory off the main lounge that has access to our rear secure garden. There is functional laundry room and kitchen and medication room on the ground floor. The basement is used for the staff room so they can store their belongings securely.
To the rear of the home is a car park and to the front of the home is a garden, that everyone can enjoy and watch the world go by.
