One of the central features of the village is the restored Grade II listed Scarcroft Lodge, originally built in 1830. It now serves as the heart of the community, housing the Audley Club, where residents and the local community can enjoy a range of amenities, including a restaurant, a health spa with a hydrotherapy pool, a gym, and a wellness studio.

Throughout the construction process, Graham maintained a focus on quality and attention to detail, ensuring that every aspect of the development meets the high standards expected by both Audley Group and future owners.



Stephen Van den Hoek, regional director at Graham, which has a workforce of 2,500 and last year had sales of £1.125 billion, said: “Working with Audley Group, a leader in luxury retirement living, has been a rewarding experience, and we are delighted to have contributed to creating such a vibrant and welcoming community in West Yorkshire.

“Our team has worked tirelessly to ensure that every detail reflects the quality and excellence that Audley Group is known for. The completed development will enhance residents’ wellbeing and independence by providing a supportive and luxurious environment tailored to their needs.”
