A luxury extra care home with 62 apartments on Epsom Road in Leatherhead

Three contemporary apartment buildings form a supportive and socially active environment for residents, but value the reassurance of tailored care when needed.

62 apartments across three buildings

Two main garden areas, a multi-use activity green and an internal courtyard

Four key communal facility types: restaurant, lounge, gym and multi-function/breakout spaces

Hunters worked closely with residents and stakeholders to ensure the development would sit confidently in its context – both physically and socially.

My mum moved into Christ Church three weeks ago and every day the team there amaze me with their enthusiasm, professionalism, compassion and thoughtfulness. She is settling in so well and is loving the social interaction, on her terms, that it offers her. Stunning place”

5/5

Facilities include a restaurant, lounge, gym, and different break out spaces designed to accommodate residents needs. Generous gardens to the north and south offer outdoor space and includes a multi-use activity green, while a calm internal courtyard creates opportunities for quiet reflection and community engagement.

Every detail in the scheme is considered with accessibility needs – lighting, colour contrast, shadow, acoustics, and facilities that all work to ensure residents can move through the space with ease and confidence.

Christ Church follows dementia-inclusive design principles and integrates smart Ai technology to help residents stay well, safe, and independent for longer.

Sustainability is at the heart of the design, with energy-efficient building fabric and enhanced biodiversity through 60 new trees and wildlife habitats. Excellent transport links and local amenities are on the doorstep.

Land was secured for development by Levanter on behalf of Birchgrove. The new development creates a positive choice when residents living at their former homes is no longer viable.

Our building truly shines when the sun is out. The light sandy bricks glow beautifully in the daylight, highlighting the thoughtful design across the entire site. The paths that encircle the building provide a safe and pleasant way for residents to enjoy their daily walks without venturing onto busy roads, complemented by the landscaped gardens that enhance the surroundings. Inside, our communal areas offer superb spaces for residents and guests alike, allowing us to host events and activities in a variety of settings to suit every occasion.”
