Enjoy the great outdoors at Culliford Court

If you’re over 55 and looking to downsize to a low maintenance home but are concerned about giving up your garden, why not consider a retirement apartment at McCarthy & Stone’s Culliford Court development in Dorchester where you can enjoy the best of both worlds?

All the apartments at Culliford Court have been designed exclusively for the over-55s and offer independence, combined with the peace of mind of additional security, low maintenance and companionship. In addition, the development is located on a peaceful tree-lined road within 1.5 acres of private landscaped grounds and gardens, which can be enjoyed by all residents at the development at any time.

Aileen King, sales and marketing director for McCarthy & Stone South West, explains: “Many of our purchasers are looking to enjoy the low maintenance lifestyle one of our apartments has to offer but understandably, are worried about losing their garden.

“However, at Culliford Court, you don’t have to compromise – you really can enjoy the best of both worlds. The vast gardens are quite spectacular. They are south facing so they get the sun everyday and residents can enjoy walks, watch the wildlife, relax in the pergola with a book or even try their hand at a spot of gardening.

“That said, the gardens are regularly tended to by a professional gardener and landscaper meaning our residents can enjoy the outdoors without the hard work!”

Culliford Court is a development of 46 one and two bedroom retirement apartments exclusively for the over-55s. Each apartment at Culliford Court comprises an open plan lounge and dining room, adjoining kitchen, one or two double bedrooms and a bathroom.

Designed especially for retirement living, special care and attention has been paid to incorporate features such as 24 hour emergency Careline call points, electrical sockets at a raised height to reduce bending, illuminated light switches, a video entry system, easy grip lever taps in the bathroom and kitchen and energy efficient heating.

Residents at Culliford Court can also socialise and relax in the communal lounge and invite family or friends to stay at the development’s guest suite.

The development is located on a tree-lined road in the historic town of Dorchester less than 550 metres from the pedestrian shopping area at South Street.
