The village, located on Chellaston Road between Sinfin Avenue and Merrill Way, provides an important, unique service and has a lot of history attached to it. Most of the homes in the village are two-bedroom bungalows, although there are some houses, flats and one bed bungalows.  Nine of the two bed bungalows were built with special facilities for people with mobility difficulties.

All tenants of these properties must be ex-service or ex-emergency services, have a connection to Derby or Derbyshire and have some form of disability.
