Each bungalow is self-contained with a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom suite and well-appointed bedrooms and living rooms. The bungalows have electric, gas or coal fired central heating and are all double glazed.Conveniently located close to Ackworth village, Townend Bungalows is just a short bus ride – from supermarkets, local shops, pubs, clubs, churches, hairdressers, a fish and chip shop, chemists, butcher and a variety of sandwich shops. A mobile library calls at the bungalow twice a month and a hairdresser visits weekly. There are local shops and a doctors’ surgery in Ackworth, and a regular bus service runs into Pontefract from the bus stop in Station Road.
WDH's Care Link emergency contact system is wired into each home ensuring access to assistance 24 hours a day. All bungalows are fitted with a fire alarm which is tested regularly.
Across all our schemes we like to help create a strong sense of community, and we do this by bringing together like-minded people through our programme of regular activities. Residents can enjoy bingo, attend coffee mornings, or take part in quiz nights or monthly social outings.
At Townend Bungalows support is available when you need it. With an experienced Residential Scheme Manager or Community Support Worker and our Care Link system installed in every home as standard, residents can live with the peace of mind that in the event of an emergency, support can be summoned immediately. Residents will receive the same service 24 hours a day, seven days a week, all year round from WDH. Residents can also tailor the support they receive to suit them, just speak to your Residential Scheme Manager or Community Support Worker about what suits you and your lifestyle." Show less
