North Swaithe Close is a small and friendly Retirement Living scheme in Bentley, a former mining village around two miles north of Doncaster. The homes sit in a quiet, leafy cul-de-sac close to the River Don and the nearby hamlet of Toll Bar. The setting feels peaceful and welcoming, with mature gardens and hedges that give privacy while still offering a sense of community.
The scheme is within walking distance of Bentley high street, where you will find convenience stores, a GP surgery, hairdressers, cafés and takeaways. There are regular bus services to Doncaster, Selby and nearby areas, and Bentley railway station is close by with park and ride facilities. Trains run north to Wakefield and Leeds and south to Doncaster, with easy onward travel to Sheffield, Meadowhall and Rotherham. The communal gardens are looked after by visiting gardeners, and many residents enjoy adding their own touches with garden furniture, sheds or greenhouses.
