Located on South Street, this development of retirement properties in Taunton consists of 62 apartments, with each providing good access to the local facilities and amenities of central Taunton.
Even though our retirement properties in Taunton offer you the perfect opportunity to downsize, you'll never feel like you're making any sacrifices. This is because, on the development, you'll find everything you could possibly need to enjoy a full and active retirement. This includes a bistro and a communal lounge that will regularly host events. There is also a guest suite for when family and friends come to stay, and pets are more than welcome.
All of our retirement Living PLUS properties are built specifically with the over-70s in mind. They allow homeowners to live independently while also providing tailored help and support. Each homeowner at our retirement properties in Taunton can choose the help they'd like, too. Whether that's help with grocery shopping, hoovering or cleaning is entirely their choice.
It's so easy to make new friends and to lead a busy and fulfilled life at Kingfisher Court; there are always plenty of regular activities to choose from. Whilst there is something for everyone, there is certainly no obligation to participate and home owners can 'dip in and out' of activities as they wish.
Central Taunton is part of the annual West Country Carnival circuit and hosts the Taunton Flower Show. Within Taunton, you'll also find the Eat Wellington Food and Drink Festival, and Fake Festival, which is home to some of the UK's most popular cover bands.
In the evenings, you'll find plenty of opportunities to enjoy some local theatre, arts and culture. The Brewhouse Theatre & Arts Centre stages regular and varied performances throughout the year, while Tacchi-Morris Arts Centre hosts theatre, dance and comedy shows, as well as a range of performances from schools and colleges.
Sports fans are well catered for as well. Taunton is home to Somerset County Cricket Club and occasionally hosts the England men's and women's national teams. The town also contains a rugby union club, a rugby league club and a football club. Elsewhere, Taunton Racecourse is only two miles away from the centre of Taunton.
Transport links surrounding our retirement homes in Taunton are strong, which makes the development perfectly situated for when family and friends come to visit.
