Retirement home provider Birchgrove is celebrating the topping out of Pepperpot House – a new 52-unit development in Godalming, Surrey.
The ceremony was attended by over 30 guests, including residents who have reserved apartments, providing them with the opportunity to meet each other for the first time. Birchgrove CEO Honor Barratt was also in attendance, alongside John Whelan, CEO of housebuilder Natta.
Pepperpot House will offer one and two-bed self-contained rented apartments to people over 65. Communal facilities will include a 24-hour concierge service, café/restaurant, licensed bar, wellness suite, and a courtyard with a lounge and landscaped roof terrace offering views over Godalming to the Surrey Hills.
Birchgrove chief executive Honor Barratt said: “I’m hugely proud that Birchgrove is on the cusp of launching its fourth site, but I’m even more inspired by our wonderful residents-to-be who attended the topping out ceremony. They are so excited about this next chapter, and to see them and their families together, interacting and forging a new community, is the real milestone for us. We can’t wait for them to move in and to be able to call Pepperpot House home.”
