McCarthy & Stone honours history with Folkestone development naming

Turnbull Place, Folkestone

McCarthy & Stone’s newest Retirement Living development in Folkestone has been named Turnbull Place in honour of one of the town’s most prolific historical figures.

Committed to selecting a title which would have significance within the local community, the leading developer took its inspiration from George Turnbull, who was responsible for building both the Horn Pier and constructing a rail route down into the town.

Julie Ward, Regional Sales and Marketing Director at McCarthy & Stone, commented: “We pride ourselves on building communities and not just homes, so we always aim to select names for our new developments that will have real meaning to the local residents.

“Turnbull Place is a fitting name for this distinctive development, as it very much pays tribute to one of the town’s most iconic individuals, without which Folkestone wouldn’t be the place it is today. We hope that our development is able to make as impressive an impact, and provide a very special community hub in which the older generation can relax and enjoy the independence of their later years in style.”

When complete, Turnbull Place will provide 25one and two bedroom Retirement Living apartments ideally situated within easy reach of the stunning Folkestone Harbour, as well as being just a short distance from all the town’s shops and amenities. The purpose-built development has been designed exclusively for people who are looking to make the most out of the freedom that retirement can offer.

Turnbull Place will provide its residents with a manageable and secure living environment, whilst giving them added peace of mind that they still own their own home. The apartments will each feature a 24 hour state-of-the-art security system and will be run by a dedicated House Manager, so complete peace-of-mind is guaranteed.

Additional features such landscaped gardens, a communal residents’ lounge, and a guest suite for visiting family and friends, will ensure that residents are able to maintain an active lifestyle.

It is anticipated that the properties at Turnbull Place will be available to purchase off plan from August 2014. For more information, visit mccarthyandstone.co.uk.
