Introduction - Blake Court is a development built by multi award-winning McCarthy Stone to offer a fantastic independent 'Retirement Living' opportunity for those aged over 60.

The development has a wonderful friendly community feel, with a host of activities to enjoy thus making it really easy to meet new friends and to lead a busy and fulfilled life. Whilst there is something for everyone there is certainly no obligation to participate and home owners 'dip in and out' of activities as they wish. The excellent communal facilities include a super lounge for homeowners, scooter store and lovely landscaped gardens.

The development occupies a very convenient position close to the heart of the market town's centre and is therefore extremely convenient to all major amenities and bus routes. Blake Court provides peace-of-mind provided by the day-to-day support of our House Manager who oversees the smooth running of the development and the benefit that all apartments are equipped with a 24-hour emergency call facility and sophisticated intercom system providing both a visual and verbal link to the main development entrance.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on January 13, 2023

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on March 9, 2023

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
