Southdowns retirement village is a unique development set in 17.5 acres of the Kent Countryside, whilst retaining the charms of village life in its own community.
Although in the countryside Southdowns is very conveniently situated indeed. We are just 4 miles from Dartford and around 6 miles from the Bluewater shopping centre both of which can be easily reached from the local bus service which stops inside our village.
Our village comprises of 1 and 2 bedroom apartments and bungalows spread out in our beautiful grounds. Southdowns offers completely independent living in self contained accommodation.
Southdowns offers independent living and does not provide ongoing care. They are here to provide assistance in an emergency and can also offer advice.
A GP usually holds Surgery on site every week, so that you do not need to go to the trouble of going into the village and waiting around in the main surgery.
Our staff in the Administration Office are always there to assist should you have any queries or problems at any time.
Our staff are dedicated solely to making Southdowns a beautiful and pleasant place to live, relieving you of the many burdens associated with home ownership and leaving you free to enjoy your retirement.
We have a nurse on duty 24/7 in case of emergencies.
