Introduction: - Constructed in mid-2014 by renowned, award-winning developers McCarthy Stone, Ellisfields Court consistently continues to be one our most sought-after developments and it is not difficult to understand why; a quiet backwater location yet within short easy access to the town centre.

This is a 'retirement living plus' development providing a lifestyle living opportunity for the over 70's and designed specifically for independent living with the peace-of-mind provided by the day-to-day support of our excellent staff and Estate Manager overseeing the smooth running of the development.
The development enjoys excellent communal facilities including a home owner's lounge, restaurant with a fantastic, varied daily table-service lunch, laundry, scooter store and landscaped gardens, along with a roof terrace.
