3 Designed for the good life Denham Garden Village has been designed for people over 55. It offers comfort and independence in a diverse community but doesn t compromise on your safety and security. The new village is being built over three phases. It is a complete replacement of the existing Denham Garden Village that was developed in the 1950s by Licensed Victuallers National Homes (LVNH). That pioneering idea of an inclusive village society offering support and independence to the residents was very successful. We ve updated the vision with modern facilities and many more active lifestyle options. The current residents will continue to rent properties in the new village, but more than half of the properties will be for purchase, making the lifestyle and amenities available to a wider group of people.

With 327 residential properties and a thriving, vibrant village centre, this is a landmark development. A rich and colourful environment all year round. The modern architectural style is sympathetic to the stunning location, while the design details will make your day-to-day living tasks effortless.

The Village Centre includes indoor courtyards and atrium spaces that offer natural light and trees, where you can relax and enjoy the views all year round.
