Woodcote Grove and Selkirk Wing, Coulsdon - Residential care home and nursing home
Woodcote Grove House is a Grade II listed Georgian building and is registered to provide residential care for 30 people. Attached is Selkirk Nursing Wing, a self-contained, dedicated unit for 20 people who require nursing care. Elegantly appointed throughout, this former home of the Campbell-Johnston family shares the truly beautiful grounds of nearby Orford House and is surrounded by woods and fields as well as an adjacent golf course. The house has been extended sympathetically to meet today’s needs, retaining many of its original features, staircase and marble fireplaces.
If they are able to do so, residents are encouraged to visit the nearby shops and facilities at The Mount from where there are buses to Croydon or Purley. Regular transport is also available from the home for local shopping.
