Owned and managed on a not-for-profit basis

In making your choice of where to spend your retirement, it is worth bearing in mind that Gretton Court is owned and managed on a not-for-profit basis. This allows rents to be kept to a modest level for such amenities in the Cambridge area.

It was originally built to house retiring academics from Cambridge University. Over the years, though, the appeal of Gretton Court has widened to include a much more diverse community of residents. We have married couples, singletons, people who have retired and some who still work.

Gretton Court Ltd is a not-for-profit private company and incorporated under the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014. Our Board of Trustees is made up of volunteers from the Cambridge community, local business and professional people, whose principal aim is to ensure that Gretton Court maintains its high standards as a pleasant and safe environment for all residents.

Day-to-day management is in the hands of our Estates Manager, who is supported by a team of staff, providing residents with 24-hour support.
