About Bishop Selwyn

Bishop Selwyn logo

Bishop Selwyn Village has been part of the Spreydon neighbourhood for over 25 years and has built a strong reputation amongst our community. We offer residents the freedom of independent living. Just around the corner from us is our sister village Rose Court with who we enjoy a close connection with, there is a genuine sense of belonging with our communities being well integrated.

Our village offers a mixture of affordable independent one and two bedroom villas and studios. Villas enjoy bright open plan living, dining area, spacious bedrooms with a modern bathroom and kitchen. These all have the ability to choose a support service if and when you may require assistance.

We are proud of our comprehensive activities programme which caters for our range of residents with weekly outings and shopping trips organised. You are also welcome to join in other entertainment provided in the rest home.

Residents, family and friends are encouraged to enjoy our tranquil garden setting, where we have our bird aviary and many restful areas to use.
