Also on the estate is Lambard House, built in 1967, which consists of 28 self-contained flats, eight of which have a second bedroom.

The Almshouses are set in pleasant landscaped gardens. Facilities include a Community Hall for social activities, a Chapel and a laundry. There is an active social club, organised by the residents, providing a range of activities and outings.
