Retirement Living plus for Over 70s. Independent Living with 24-Hour On-Site Support

Welcome to Sydney Court, an exclusive McCarthy Stone Retirement Living plus development designed exclusively for those aged 70 and over.

This beautifully presented top-floor one-bedroom apartment offers the independence of owning your own home together with the reassurance of 24-hour on-site support, excellent communal facilities and a welcoming community. It's a place where you can enjoy retirement with confidence, knowing that help is available should you ever need it.

Whether you're looking to downsize from a larger property, simplify everyday living, reduce the responsibilities of home ownership or plan ahead for the future, Sydney Court provides a secure, comfortable and welcoming environment where you can continue enjoying life on your own terms.

More Than Just an Apartment :

Sydney Court offers far more than simply an apartment. It provides a lifestyle centred around independence, companionship and peace of mind.

Residents enjoy the privacy of their own home together with thoughtfully designed facilities and services that make everyday living easier, leaving more time to enjoy retirement. Whether you're relaxing in the residents' lounge, meeting friends for lunch in the bistro, enjoying the landscaped gardens or travelling with the reassurance of knowing your home is secure, Sydney Court has been designed to help you make the very most of later life.

Unlike a traditional retirement apartment, residents benefit from 24-hour on-site staffing, emergency response facilities, a chef-run restaurant, social activities and optional support services that can adapt as circumstances change, allowing many homeowners to remain independent in the home they love for longer.

Explore the UK with McCarthy Stone:

One of the lesser-known benefits of owning a McCarthy Stone apartment is the opportunity to book guest suites at many other McCarthy Stone developments throughout the UK (subject to availability and the applicable guest suite charge). Whether you're planning a seaside break, visiting friends and family or enjoying a city getaway, you'll have the opportunity to stay in comfortable hotel-style guest accommodation whilst enjoying the familiarity and reassurance of the McCarthy Stone lifestyle.

Support That Adapts to You:

One of the greatest advantages of Retirement Living plus is that it has been designed to adapt as your needs change. The service charge includes one hour of domestic assistance each week to help with everyday household tasks. If additional support is required in the future, further domestic assistance, personal care and lifestyle support services can be arranged (subject to assessment and additional charges), allowing you to choose the level of assistance that best suits your individual needs. This flexible approach enables many homeowners to continue enjoying the independence of living in their own apartment, with the reassurance that professional support and emergency assistance are available within the development should circumstances change.

Enjoy More Time for the Things You Love:

By taking care of many of the day-to-day responsibilities associated with home ownership, Sydney Court allows residents to spend less time worrying about household maintenance and more time enjoying retirement. Whether that's travelling, pursuing hobbies, meeting friends, enjoying the landscaped gardens or simply relaxing in the comfort of your own apartment, Sydney Court has been designed to provide a secure, low-maintenance lifestyle with genuine peace of mind.

Service Charge Information:

The annual service charge contributes towards the running and management of this professionally operated Retirement Living plus development. It includes services and facilities such as 24-hour staffing, emergency response facilities, one hour of domestic assistance each week, maintenance of all communal areas and landscaped gardens, residents' amenities, social facilities and the ongoing professional management of the development. While the annual service charge is higher than that of a conventional apartment, it reflects the extensive range of facilities, services and support available, allowing homeowners to enjoy an independent lifestyle with additional reassurance. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves that the services provided meet their own individual requirements.
