If you’re over 55 and looking for a new home, then McCarthy & Stone’s retirement living development, Tor View Court in Street, could be the place for you!
The development of one and two bedroom apartments on Somerton Road is ideally placed for enjoying the wealth of amenities the historic town has to offer. The famous Clarks Village is located just off the high street, boasting shops, a museum, restaurant, picnic areas and outdoor entertainment. And, in the centre of town, Crispin Hall houses a market and advice centre.
Those without a car needn’t worry as the town centre is within easy walking distance of Tor View Court and the main bus stops are located outside the library on Leigh Road providing regular services to Glastonbury, Somerton, Bristol, Wells and Bath. For those with a car, the development is well placed for access to the M5.
Residents Mr. & Mrs. Bullock and Mrs. Munro all agree that Street is the ideal place for retirees. Mr. & Mrs. Bullock commented, “Everything we need is within walking distance. We have discovered lots of lovely walks, the U3A and the Crispin Centre. Street feels very safe walking around in the evenings.”
“Although I first thought Street only consisted of an outlet village, I have now been proved otherwise,” Mrs. Munro explains. “There is an abundance of things to occupy my time and the people are so friendly. I have started Tai Chi, joined the W.I., attend free concerts and readings and taken up croquet!”
Aileen King, sales and marketing director for McCarthy & Stone South West, comments: “Our Tor View Court development in Street ticks all the boxes for anyone over 55 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 bus stop is a short walk away.
“We place great importance on building communities as well as apartments. Many people who move to one of our developments have lost a partner, are struggling to maintain their existing property or are looking to enjoy the company of like minded people. The social side of retirement living plays a big role at Tor View Court as we have a communal lounge where residents can meet, have a coffee and chat. If you’d like to find out more about the lifestyle you could be enjoying, why not come and see us?”
Design features at Tor View Court include 24 hour emergency call points, electrical sockets at a raised height to reduce bending, illuminated light switches, a video entry system, easy grip lever taps and energy efficient heating. There is also a landscaped garden, residents’ lounge, laundry room, lift and a house manager based at the development.
Tor View Court offers a collection of 46 one and two bedroom apartments with prices starting from £148,450.
