Our Facilities
A period home, thoughtfully maintained inside and out.
HighWray Facilities
HighWray is more than bedrooms and communal spaces — it's a genuinely well-equipped home, built around comfort, accessibility and everyday life.
From the moment you arrive, you'll find a period property that's been thoughtfully maintained and modernised, without losing the character that makes it feel like a home rather than an institution.
At a glance – in-house hairdressing weekly. Visiting ophthalmology and audiology. In-house religious visits, weekly communion etc.
Every bedroom has its own private en-suite, almost all with a walk-in wet room.

We also have a beautiful Heritage lounge with cinema drop down screen and grand piano. The heritage lounge can also be requested for private family gatherings or larger visiting numbers.
- A large communal lounge with beautiful countryside views.
- A dining room set nicely for mealtimes, sometimes decorated with residents' own craft work.
- Residents' kitchenette, and phone/TV points in every room.
Outside
We have multiple areas to sit out, with a large pergola to be enjoyed overlooking our forest. We are lucky to regularly have deer in our meadow and enjoy views of the lake.
Set on a quiet country lane in Aughton, HighWray is surrounded by forest, meadow and lake views. It is peaceful, private and a world away from busy roads. There is free on-site parking at the front and rear, with accessible routes to every door, so visits are easy for family and friends.
- Sweeping lawns and mature gardens, opening onto the Lancashire countryside.
- On-site parking, front and rear, with accessible routes to all doors.
- Solar panels and living green roofs — a period building updated for the future.
