Local retirees invited to grab a brew, secure your dream home, and meet potential new neighbours

Beginning in September, locals are invited to the McCarthy Stone Retirement Living development, Powell House on Holland Road to find out more about the luxury, low-maintenance properties and exceptional facilities.

The monthly coffee mornings will take place on Wednesdays between 10:30 AM and 12:30 PM on the following dates 18th September, 16th October, and 20th November, giving prospective buyers plenty of opportunity to regularly get to know one another and learn more about the vibrant lifestyle and flexible purchase options on offer.

At each event, guests will be treated to light refreshments in the communal lounge and are welcome to take a tour of the professionally styled show apartments.

David Meachem, Divisional Sales Director at McCarthy Stone, comments: “The team are incredibly excited to meet locals and give them a flavour of what life after 60 could and should be like. Powell House is a fantastic new development with everything you could need, from stylish communal spaces to a thriving social scene, to enjoy a full and varied retirement. We’ve already received a great deal of interest, which is why we’d recommend anyone who wishes to hear how McCarthy Stone can make a move work for them to pop along to one of our friendly coffee mornings.”

He continues: “This is the first of many exciting events due to take place at Powell House. We’re working behind the scenes to offer a series of social activities to strengthen the retirement community and support the welfare and happiness of older people.”

Helping the over 60s to retire in style, Powell House will offer 43 beautifully appointed one and two-bedroom retirement apartments each designed with easy living in mind. Homeowners will benefit from access to superb communal spaces, including a sophisticated lounge, attractive landscape gardens, and a spectacular roof terrace. For peace of mind, each property will benefit from a 24/7 emergency call system and intruder alarm, while a House Manager will be on-site during office hours to keep everything running smoothly.

A range of purchase options are available at Powell House, such as the Shared Ownership scheme in partnership with Homes England, which allows retirees to enjoy the benefits of Retirement Living without committing to the full purchase price. For example, retirees can pay just 50% of the property value of an apartment at the development, and monthly rent payable on the remaining 50%, with one-bedroom properties available from £132,500 and two-bedroom properties available from £185,000*.

McCarthy Stone is the only UK housebuilder of any size or type to achieve this rating every year it has taken part in the survey.
