ThamesWey Launches First Independent Living Scheme for the Over 60’s at New Woodlands

New Woodlands marks a step change in later living rental homes in Woking . . .

Launched in December 2023, New Woodlands is ThamesWey Housing’s first purpose-built independent living scheme – 68 spacious one-bedroom apartments for residents aged 60 and over, designed to set a new benchmark for later-living rental accommodation in Woking.

Apartments average 55 sq m, offering more space that typical sheltered homes. Each one includes:

  • Triple-glazed windows
  • District heat network supply
  • EPC B rating
  • Accessible ‘wet room’ bathrooms
  • Private balcony or terrace

The building is fully accessible, served by two passenger lifts, and designed to support independent living for the long-term.

Comfortable, High-Quality Living

Interiors are bright, modern, and thoughtfully laid out, with open-plan living spaces and generously sized bedrooms. A private landscaped podium garden and a communal lounge provide welcoming places to relax and connect with neighbours.

Practical Amenities

New Woodlands shares a secure car park with Merchant House, offering standard and EV charging bays (available at additional cost) and free bicycle storage for all residents.

Accessible Rents

Homes at New Woodlands are offered at discounted rents, reflecting ThamesWey’s commitment to making high-quality later-living accommodation genuinely accessible.
