The Paddocks is a Sheltered Housing Scheme for the over 60s. It is registered as a Housing Association. The warden-assisted flats opened in 1979. Twelve of the 25 flats are on ground level. All flats have a living room, kitchen, bathroom, good storage space and a double bedroom. Three flats have an additional single bedroom. All have gas central heating. Tenants have keys to their own front doors which are at ground level. There is a 24-hour care link system in operation when the wardens are off duty. The common room is a communal facility for tenants with television, video and a music centre. It also houses a wide selection of books which are on loan from the local library and changed regularly. Attached to the common room is a fully equipped kitchen. There is also a spacious communal laundry room.
