What makes retirement living with McCarthy Stone so special?

Picture yourself in a fresh new home this spring, with fewer chores and more time to do the things you love. Whether that’s morning coffee on your own sunlit balcony. A good giggle with your pals in the shared lounge. Shopping. Art clubs. Walking your dog. Or a delicious meal in the buzzing on-site bistro. A home that comes with the added warmth of lower energy bills, caring support on hand and new friends on the doorstep. Life enjoyed the way it should be.

While all McCarthy Stone properties are cleverly designed to make life easier—with sought-after locations close to amenities, helpful on-site teams and thoughtful touches, they offer a choice of independent living communities—Retirement Living and Retirement Living PLUS—with differing levels of services to support you now and in the future. With lovely communities in prime positions on the coast, in the countryside or in the heart of thriving town and cities, you’re bound to find the right option for you.

“Every day is like a holiday”

Erika and Stephen say their lives have “completely changed for the better” since they bought a McCarthy Stone home in Devon using the Older Persons Shared Ownership (OPSO) scheme to make it even more affordable. “We purchased our retirement apartment through OPSO for the maximum share of 75% to allow us to release some equity,” explains Stephen.

“I’ve made lots of lovely new friends since moving to the development,” adds Erika. “I really appreciate being able to walk out of my apartment to the communal lounge and there always being a friendly face to talk to.” She adds, “Equally, you needn’t worry about privacy. Once you close the door to your apartment, it’s like you’re in your own little world. The great thing about independent living is the balance it offers – the social aspect is there if you want it, but you can also enjoy your own space.” Read their story
