If you’re over the age of 60 and looking to buy a new home, why not consider McCarthy and Stone’s Hathaway Court retirement development in Stratford upon Avon?

The development of one and two bedroom apartments on Alcester Road is ideally located for enjoying the cultural delights and amenities the picturesque town has to offer.  There are two supermarkets – a Morrisons and a Somerfield – within easy reach of Hathaway Court for day to day needs, as well as numerous shops, cafes and restaurants and three post offices. The excellent library and information centre in Henley Street hosts a family history group and silver surfers workshops for the over 55s.

Those without a car needn’t worry as Hathaway Court is situated opposite the train station which offers direct links to Birmingham (in 50 minutes) and London (in 1 hour, 40 minutes). There is also an efficient bus service for local and national travel. Closer to home are Shakespeare’s birthplace, the Guild Hall, several theatres and Montpellier Art Gallery. Lazy days can be spent with a stroll in the park or beside the river.

Robin Pike, regional sales and marketing manager for McCarthy and Stone, explains: “Our Hathaway Court development in Stratford upon Avon ticks all the boxes for anyone over 60 who is looking to buy a new home. Every apartment benefits from a well-thought out design to help residents maintain independence in later life and feel secure in their own home. Shops and services are within easy reach in the town centre and for trips further afield the train station is on the doorstep.

“We place great importance on building communities as well as homes. Many people who move in to one of our apartments have lost a partner, are struggling to cope alone or are looking for company. The social side of retirement living plays a big role at Hathaway Court as we have a resident’s lounge where individuals can meet, enjoy afternoon tea, play bridge or just chat. If you’d like to find out more about the lifestyle you could be enjoying, why not come and see us?”

Design features of the apartments at Hathaway Court include 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.

Hathaway Court offers a collection of 53 one and two bedroom apartments with prices starting from £139,950.
