If you’re over 60 and looking for a new home in central location within easy access to everyday amenities, McCarthy & Stone’s retirement development Austen Court in Winchmore Hill could be the place for you.

The development, which is located on Winchmore Hill Road, comprises 37 retirement apartments.  Currently there are 13 one bedroom apartments available, each benefiting from a well-thought out design to help residents maintain independence in later life.

Features include 24-hour emergency Careline call points, electrical sockets at a raised height to reduce bending, illuminated light switches, a camera entry system, easy grip lever taps in the bathroom and kitchen and energy efficient heating.
