We worked in partnership with construction expert Willmott Dixon to develop an exemplary later living accommodation on the site of the former Ty Darran care home in Risca.

The new Ty Darran later living scheme contains 45 one-bedroom apartments for residents aged 60 and over.

It is unlike anything we’ve delivered before as a Council and sets the bar for future Caerphilly Homes’ developments.

Its design combines innovation with the highest levels of energy efficiency, reducing carbon emissions and keeping residents’ fuel costs to a minimum.

Incorporated in the scheme are a wide range of indoor and outdoor communal spaces, to improve the health and wellbeing of residents and facilitate interaction with the wider community.  At the heart of the scheme is a communal garden, featuring planting and places to sit, including a community gathering space.
