Community Spaces at Red Kit Meadows

Right in the heart of Flitwick, and open to everyone in the town, not just our residents.

Red Kite Meadows is ournewest care village in Flitwick, built to bring independent living, respite care and residential care together in one place, alongside spaces the whole community is welcome to use. It's designed to feel like part of our town, not apart from it. A café, a hair salon, bookable rooms and an on-site GP surgery all sit within the same area as the homes themselves, so residents, families and neighbours cross paths every day, not just on visiting hours.

CARE IS CENTRAL
“Red Kite Meadows was never just about the homes we built here. It's about the café you can pop into for a coffee, the room you can hire for your book club, the salon you can get your hair done in, whether or not you have a family member living with us.”

Robert Templeton

Managing Director

Brewtopia Café

Brewtopia Café sits at the heart of Red Kite Meadows, and it's genuinely open to everyone: residents, families, visitors, or anyone from Flitwick who fancies a coffee. Freshly made meals and snacks are served throughout the day, at prices that keep it properly affordable.

On a good day, you'll find people spilling out into the garden courtyard with a pot of tea, making the most of the sunshine. Pop in any time, no need to be visiting anyone in particular.

Community Room

Need somewhere to hold a meeting, run a pop-up shop, celebrate a birthday or host a book club? The Community Room is a large, multi-purpose space available to hire, with tables and chairs that can be set up in whatever format suits, from theatre-style rows to round tables for a party.

A large TV and projector are on hand for presentations, so it works just as well for a training session as it does for a christening tea. However you want to use it, it's yours to book, and you don't need any connection to Red Kite Meadows to do so.

Conference Room

For something a little more focused, the Conference Room seats up to 15 and comes with a screen for presentations, making it a straightforward choice for meetings, interviews or training sessions. 

It's a proper working space, quieter and more contained than the Community Room, so it suits anything where you need people's full attention: a board meeting, a job interview, or a supplier presentation. Local businesses and organisations are just as welcome to book it as anyone connected to the care village.

GP Surgery

An on-site GP surgery, run by Flitwick Surgery, means healthcare is genuinely on the doorstep for residents, who can get an appointment without needing to arrange transport or a carer to accompany them.

It's a small thing that makes a real difference to daily life here, and it's a welcome convenience for the wider community too: fewer people needing to travel into central Flitwick just to see a doctor.

Hair & Beauty Salon

Our hair and beauty salon is run by an independent local business [name TBC], with its own entrance so it feels like a proper high street salon rather than an add-on to a care setting. 

Residents can pop in for a regular appointment just as they always have, and the wider public are just as welcome to book in. It's one more way Red Kite Meadows works as a genuine part of Flitwick.

Spa Bathroom

Not every home has the space for a proper soak, especially as mobility becomes harder. Our accessible spa bathroom is available to hire for exactly that: a relaxed, luxury bathing experience, designed so it's genuinely usable whatever support someone needs to get in and out safely. 

Some people book it because they simply don't have a bath at home. Others just fancy treating themselves. Either reason is a good one.

Changing Places Toilet

Our Changing Places Toilet is a fully accessible facility for people whose needs go beyond a standard accessible toilet, including those who need extra space or equipment to be changed safely and with dignity. It's open to members of the public as well as residents, meaning a day out in Flitwick doesn't have to be limited by where suitable facilities are. 

For many families, that single fact can be the difference between visiting the town or not

Guest Suites

Visiting a loved one at Red Kite Meadows, or just need a place to stay in Flitwick? Our two guest suites offer comfortable, affordable overnight accommodation, whether you're stopping for one night or staying a while longer. Each has been designed with comfort and convenience in mind, so you've got a relaxing space to unwind after a day of visiting.

One suite comes with its own kitchenette, giving you a bit more independence if you're staying longer. Both are close to everything Red Kite Meadows has to offer, and the wider local area too, making them a practical choice for anyone who needs quality accommodation in a friendly setting.

BUILT FOR THE COMMUNITY

About Red Kite Meadows in Flitwick

Red Kite Meadows is the first senior living village of its kind built by Central Bedfordshire Council, bringing independent living, short-term respite care and a residential care home together on Steppingley Road in Flitwick. It's built to Passivhaus standards, meaning low energy bills, filtered air and a home that stays comfortable all year round.

But it's not just about the homes. With a public café, bookable community rooms, an on-site GP surgery and a hair salon all under one roof, Red Kite Meadows has been designed to bring Flitwick in, not keep it out.
