Bridgnorth retirees are safe and warm this winter

If you want to save your parents or elderly relatives from the hassle and cost of expensive household repairs this winter, then McCarthy & Stone’s Farthings Court retirement development in Bridgnorth could be the answer.

There’s no need to worry about repairing leaking gutters, or replacing missing roof tiles, as all external maintenance at the development on Kings Loade in Low Town is taken care of, giving you and your loved ones peace of mind.

Inside the apartments have been designed especially for retirement living. Energy efficient heating ensures residents are warm and cosy this winter while other features include 24 hour emergency Careline call points, electrical sockets at a raised height to reduce bending, illuminated light switches, a video entry system and easy grip lever taps in the bathroom and kitchen.

Robin Pike, regional sales and marketing manager for McCarthy & Stone, explains: “Our Farthings Court development 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.

“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 Farthings Court as we have a residents’ lounge where individuals can meet, enjoy afternoon tea, play bridge or just chat. We’re encouraging everyone who wants to start a new life here to come and see us, enjoy some sherry and mince pies and find out more.”

Prospective purchasers are invited to visit the development, take a look around the stylish show apartment and talk to the sales team about the services McCarthy & Stone offers to make moving home easier.

McCarthy & Stone’s ‘Move and Live For Free For A Year’ scheme* lets purchasers sit back and relax while its team help with the cost and hassle of moving. The team will liaise with your estate agent and solicitor, as well as organising your Home Information Pack. Once you have moved in and are settled into your new apartment you can also enjoy the fact that your council tax, TV licence, contents insurance, electricity, telephone line and calls, service charge and ground rent are all paid for the first year, leaving you free to spend your money on enjoying your new life.

Overlooking the River Severn, the development enjoys an idyllic location in the picturesque Shropshire town.
