Currently in development
Where your best chapter begins.
A community designed for the way you want to live now.Active. Social. Yours.
Aldermere is currently in development, with locations, home types and specifications being carefully shaped. Register your interest to receive confirmed updates as plans progress.
Deep roots. Open sky.More life ahead.
Some places you arrive at by accident. Aldermere is not one of them. It is being shaped for people who choose their next chapter deliberately, with independence still at the centre and more room for what comes next.
The vision is a more manageable home, a stronger connection to nature, and the possibility of company without obligation. A quieter way of living, with more ease, more beauty, and no narrowing of what life can still become.
A different kind of over-55s living
Independent over-55s living, not a care setting
Aldermere is being shaped for people who want privacy, ease, and company by choice. It is not a care home or assisted living setting.
A residential community with nature at its heart
Each setting will be shaped by the land around it, with outdoor space and planting considered from the beginning rather than added at the end.
Your independence, your pace, your terms
The intention is simple: private homes, shared moments when you want them, and the freedom to live without a programme being imposed.
Details shared as they are confirmed
Locations, home types, specifications, and launch timelines will be communicated to registered interest holders as plans progress.
Independent living with more ease around it
Aldermere is for people who are not ready to slow down, but are ready to live with more ease: a more manageable home, stronger connection to nature, and a community that offers company without obligation.
For people not ready to slow down
Aldermere is for those who want the next chapter to feel easier, not smaller.
For independence with connection nearby
Private living remains central, with community available without obligation.
For reassurance without care-home language
The wider Sight Acre and Rowan & Rise ecosystem offers future reassurance if needs change over time.
Active living, effortless connection
Aldermere is being shaped for people who want more from their next chapter - more freedom, more connection, more time outdoors and more ways to enjoy life on their own terms. From tennis, padel and cycling routes to yoga, Pilates, supper clubs, film nights, quiz evenings and resident-led societies, community is there when you want it, never imposed.
Sport & movement
Tennis, padel, yoga, Pilates and active clubs designed around people who want to keep moving, stay social and enjoy their time.
Explore & get outdoors
Cycling routes, walking trails, dog-friendly spaces, local days out and easy access to the wider landscape.
Food & social evenings
Supper clubs, private dining, coffee mornings, quiz nights, film nights and seasonal gatherings.
Hobbies & resident-led societies
Book clubs, gardening groups, creative workshops, talks, local interest groups and ideas shaped by the people who live here.
The land will shape what comes next
Every Aldermere setting will be shaped by the land around it. The intention is to create homes that feel connected to nature, with outdoor space, planting, walking routes, and shared places to pause considered from the beginning.
Full details of the first setting will be shared as plans progress.
A name chosen for the feeling it evokes
The name Aldermere was chosen for the feeling it evokes rather than a single fixed location. Alder trees have long been associated with shelter and gathering places in the British landscape, while “mere” suggests stillness, reflection, and calm.
Together, Aldermere speaks to the kind of community being shaped: rooted in nature, designed around belonging, and intended for a quieter, more considered way of living.
“Not a place to withdraw from life, but a setting for living with more freedom, more ease, and more intention.”
Come home to yourself.
See who it is forBelong. Live. Flourish.
Belong.
Company without obligation. Aldermere is being shaped for people who value privacy, but also want the possibility of familiar faces nearby.
Live.
A more manageable home, more connection to nature, and more room for the parts of life that still feel wide open.
Flourish.
The vision is not about slowing down. It is about creating the right conditions for independence, ease, and a life that still feels fully your own.
Private, design-led homes for independent living
The first Aldermere homes are still being shaped, but the principle is clear: private, design-led homes for independent living, with natural light, outdoor space, and low-maintenance comfort at the centre.
More detail on layouts, specifications, launch timings, and residential options will follow as plans progress.

Landscape-led by design
Rather than beginning with a fixed list of features, Aldermere begins with a principle: each setting should feel connected to nature and shaped by the land around it.
Outdoor space, planting, routes through the setting, and shared places to pause are part of the ambition. The exact details will be confirmed as the first site moves forward.
Shaped by the land
Every Aldermere setting will begin with the land itself: its light, views, planting, and existing character.
Outdoor space from the start
The intention is for outdoor space and planting to be woven into the residential community rather than treated as decoration.
Places to pause
Shared places to sit, walk, and gather are part of the vision, with exact details developed around the first confirmed site.
Details to follow
Walking routes, planting, shared spaces, and landscape features will be confirmed as plans progress.
Considered from the earliest stage
Sustainability is part of the Aldermere brief, but the details will be developed as plans progress. The ambition is to make careful, evidence-led decisions rather than make claims too early.
Energy considered early
Aldermere sits within Sight Acre's wider sustainability ecosystem, so energy strategy is being considered from the earliest planning stages.
Landscape with purpose
The ambition is to create settings where planting, habitat, and outdoor space support both daily life and long-term stewardship.
A lighter approach
Materials, homes, and landscape decisions will be developed with the aim of sitting carefully within the setting.
As plans progress, confirmed information on energy, landscape, materials, and long-term stewardship will be shared with registered interest holders.
A considered community, taking shape.
Something worth building properly
Aldermere is being shaped around a clear vision: independent over-55s living that feels private, design-led, connected to nature, and socially open without becoming prescriptive.
Future reassurance, without changing the brief
Aldermere is not a care home or assisted living setting. The wider Sight Acre and Rowan & Rise ecosystem simply gives future reassurance if needs change over time.

“I stopped looking when I found The Aldermere Collective. Not because I had run out of options. Because I had run out of reasons to keep looking.”
— Registered interest holder, 2026
More freedom, more ease, more opportunity.
Aldermere is being shaped for people who want a home that gives them more time, more ease and more opportunity - whether that means shared interests, days out, walking routes, supper clubs, or simply having privacy with community close by.
