John Betts House

I appreciate living in JBH – the feeling of security is re-assuring, the garden is lovely, and the recent and on going refurbishments add to the overall surroundings. It is a very pleasant place to be.

Pat — John Betts House resident

In the early 1960's, John Betts' House, in Rylett Road, was constructed as a 2 storey rectangular building around an enclosed garden. When it opened in 1964, John Betts' House provided 35 residential flats of which 11 were one bedroom with sitting rooms, the remaining 24 being bed-sits.

Accommodation

A further storey was added in 1992 providing an additional 7 flats and the bed-sits were converted to one bedroom flats with a separate sitting room. As with Sycamore House, there are generous communal facilities.
