A new premium residential home has opened near Skipton following a significant investment and full redevelopment of a historic 1870s manor house. Thornton Hill Care Home, located in Thornton-in-Craven, offers a boutique lifestyle-led environment with 27 luxury beds overlooking the Craven Hills.
The restoration was personally led by Managing Director Ben Redhead and his wife Naomi, who oversaw the interior design. Ben Redhead brings deep experience to the project from his family business, Well Springs Care Home in Bradford, which has been ranked among the top 20 care homes in the region for six consecutive years. The project has already created 13 local jobs, with further recruitment expected as the home becomes established.
Ben Redhead said: “Thornton Hill has been a real passion project for us. We saw the potential in the building and wanted to create something that felt different, and somewhere people would genuinely want to live, not just somewhere they felt they had to move to. It’s a beautiful setting, but what matters most to us is the care, the team and the day-to-day experience for our residents. We’ve built everything around that, with an emphasis on community, social connection and quality of life.”
The redevelopment was designed to balance luxury accommodation for individuals and couples with the support of community living. Since opening, the home has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from its first residents and their families.
