Guild Living at Epsom.
Guild Living is bringing forward plans for a unique later living community close to Epsom Hospital. Our mission is to reinstate older people at the heart of our lives and communities.
This new Guild Living community will enable active, independent lives, with our residents secure in the knowledge that their wellbeing and long-term needs are catered for.
We aim to make a real impact on the way people age, stepping out of the mould of traditional retirement operators and developers. Our communities are set in vibrant, town-centre environments – and after development, we stay on as the operator, contributing to the local community and providing high-quality facilities for public use.
Our communities combine high-quality, purpose-built design with ground-breaking wellness programmes and activities, supporting happy and healthy ageing.
Members of a Guild Living community will be able to live independently, with flexible and supportive assistance available if and when needed.
The Local Need.
Listening to residents.
We are currently making changes to our plans in response to feedback from local residents and Epsom and Ewell Borough Council. We want to work with the local community to develop a scheme that enjoys local support and are looking at making the following amendments:
- Reducing the overall height of the buildings.
- Setting back the proposed buildings along Woodcote Green Road and reducing the height.
- Reducing the number of homes by 42.
- Enhancing the landscaping and public realm.
- Planting over 100 additional trees.
You can find out more in our community newsletter, January 2021 here.

GUILD LIVING'S
EPSOM LOCATION.
Our
Proposal.
“We are committed to working closely with Epsom General Hospital to help improve the entire area for hospital staff, visitors and residents,” says Guild Living Co-Founder, Eugene Marchese. “Because we are in partnership with Legal & General, residents will have confidence that we are committed to Epsom for the long term. All the facilities we are planning – wellness facilities, cafes and social spaces – are designed to bring people together as we want to promote multi-generational living.”


OUR OFFERING IN EPSOM.
Some Frequently Asked Questions About Guild Living at Epsom.
-
We take great care from the outset of the design process to consider issues such as separation distances between neighbouring properties and building heights as well as the more detailed design issues such as the locations of windows and balconies. We’ll take on board input from our neighbours during consultation where possible.
Issues that often create the main impact on neighbouring properties such as overlooking, daylight/sunlight assessments and visual impact are all assessed via appointed specialist consultants to ensure any impact is reduced as much as possible through the design process.
-
We’ll maintain a dialogue with councillors, officers and community groups in each city within which we’re developing. This will usually be through a series of public consultations designed to be open and honest, and to engage with others. You can submit feedback or comments on our proposals using the form on this page.
-
Most of our residences are Guild Living Residences. These stylish, practical homes are designed for ‘ageing in place.’ This means that if your requirements change, we can provide discreet and respectful services from domestic support, as and when needed – all designed to help you stay as independent as possible.
