Over-70s McCarthy Stone Retirement Living PLUS development
Built for residents aged 70+, this two-bedroom apartment in Poppy Court offers a secure, social retirement setting with 24-hour on-site staffing and an estates manager. The development includes a table-service restaurant, homeowners’ lounge and guest suite, plus flexible personal care packages from an on-site CQC-registered care agency.
The apartment is comfortable and well-presented with a generous living room, fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and a bathroom with grab rails and emergency pull-cord. Double glazing, fast broadband and very low local crime add practical convenience and peace of mind.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with 111 years remaining. Annual service charges are high (£13,796.26) and ground rent is payable (£435 p.a., next review Jan 2026). Heating is by electric storage heaters and parking is allocated subject to availability and a small permit fee.
This home suits downsizers seeking an active, supported retirement lifestyle who value on-site services and social facilities. The apartment is best for those who accept higher communal costs in return for security, convenience and included communal services.
