We Build Homes That Let People Live Well, For Longer
Empowering people to stay independent and to age in-place
At Lewis & Scott, we create homes for people aged 60+ who want to live independently, confidently and comfortably; not just today, but for the years ahead.
Our homes are built around a simple belief: later life should offer more ease, more freedom, and choice. Not less.
That belief started with Joan.
A Personal Story. A Systemic Problem.
Lewis & Scott was founded because of Joan, the founders grandmother. She was the life and soul of a second-floor maisonette in Hertfordshire: the balcony chats, flower-pot competitions, the unspoken community held each other up through the decades.
Joan stayed there for over 30 years until she passed at 96; not because the home suited her needs as she aged, but because it was familiar and close to her family. But over time, the friendships that kept her anchored faded as they moved to care homes or further away. The stairs became dangerous. The layout stopped working. And the home that once gave her independence slowly took it away.
There were no suitable, affordable, local alternatives designed for people who wanted to age well, in place.
Only when Joan passed away and her maisonette sold did we see the truth clearly: Joan was asset-rich, community-rooted and fiercely independent, yet she had no realistic pathway to live safely and comfortably in later life.
That's a market failure. So we built Lewis & Scott to help fix it.

The Difference
We Understand What's Missing
We've lived the problem. We know that the UK needs more affordable, future-proof homes that support independent-living, ageing well and in-place. We're here to. change that.
We Build with Intention
Every layout, every decision is guided by the question: "Will this make life easier, not just now but in 10 years from now?".
We Create Community, Not Compounds
Our homes sit within real villages and towns, not behind gates. They're designed to feel safe, calm, and neighbourly without isolating residents or removing them from everyday life and the wider community.
We're Family Run and People Focused
We don't build for shareholders. We build for people like Joan and the millions of older adults who want to stay independent, supported, and rooted in the places they love. Our B-Corp status is testament to this.
Looking Ahead
The vision is to redefine what 'later living' looks like in the UK. There are millions of people who need homes for now, and the future, that are not care-led, not institutional, not isolated. They want beautiful, affordable, independent, future-proof homes in real communities that give them a genuine choice long before they reach crisis point. This is what Joan should have had. And it's what we're here to build.
