1 bedroom retirement property for sale

A new McCarthy Stone development has been built on the New Dover Road. This development of retirement properties in Canterbury includes a mix of 50 one and two bedroom Retirement Living PLUS properties that will all benefit from fantastic views, a location close to the city centre and excellent transport links. Our Retirement Living PLUS properties are built with the over-70s in mind. As a result, they're designed to include a number of key features that allow you to live independently, while also providing you with the help and support you may require. This means that you can keep your freedom but also have the knowledge that tailor-made help and support is available, should it be required. In addition, with our retirement properties in Canterbury, you'll never feel like you're sacrificing anything, as the development includes everything you could possibly need to enjoy a full and active retirement, including a bistro, a salon and 24-hour staffing. There's even a guest suite for when family and friends come to stay. Plus, these retirement properties in Canterbury provide you with the perfect opportunity to downsize. Although you'll still own your own property, you'll be free from the responsibility of maintaining a large family home, as all of the exterior maintenance will be taken care of for you. All homeowners also receive extra domestic support each week. You can decide what support you require, from help with shopping to support with the dishes or dusting. This means you can spend more time socialising on the development, becoming embedded in the local community and enjoying your retirement.
