Show more "This high quality Retirement Living Plus development features 60 stylish one and two bedroom retirement apartments exclusively for the over 70s. Be a part of a close-knit and secure community, with flexible care and support available if and when you need it, the opportunity to socialise with friends and neighbours and the privacy of your own apartment.

Retirement Living Plus gives you much more than a new apartment. Homeowners can enjoy on-site facilities, including a bistro serving hot and cold meals, drinks and snacks, a wellbeing suite in which you can book an array of beauty treatments, a homeowners' lounge and beautiful landscaped gardens. Homeowners also benefit from a friendly and helpful management team, and a sociable environment where they can really get to know their neighbours.

Every apartment features a fully fitted and easily accessible kitchen, and a walk-in shower with slip-resistant tiling. Security and comfort is ensured for every homeowner, with intruder alarms, a camera entry system and an Estates Manager to ensure that every resident feels safe at all times. There is also wheelchair access and lifts to all floors for those with limited mobility, and 24 hour staff on-site to offer assistance to residents should they ever require it. If additional care is needed, we can provide this too, with flexible care packages available." Show less
