Retirement living from McCarthy & Stone however is so much more than just a retirement flat. It's designed to enable older retired home owners to lead an active, independent lifestyle, without many of the maintenance worries often associated with home ownership; all in a safe and secure environment.

After the success of the first phase of 23 retirement apartments, a second phase of 39 one and two bedroom retirement apartments in the City of Lincoln has been built and is ready for occupation. 

The first phase building was previously an army barracks, and the front façade has been retained, giving a sense of elegant style to the design of these new retirement homes here at Avalon Court on Newport.

Ideally situated in the desirable Uphill area of Lincoln, Avalon Court is less than half a mile away from the historic Cathedral Quarter, which is home to the magnificent Cathedral, Medieval Bishop's Palace and specialist shops of Steep Hill and Bailgate.  Steep Hill connects Uphill to the Downhill area which boasts all the amenities expected of a modern city centre: well known high street stores; fantastic art galleries; museums, and many cultural events.  There is a bus stop outside the retirement apartments providing a regular service into the city centre.

Lincoln is an historic town, popular with tourists, with good shopping facilities and attractions.  It has excellent transport facilities with a direct rail service to London, and access to Newark on Trent; North Hykeham; Horncastle; Retford and Gainsborough.

The retirement apartments is managed by a house manager who oversees the running of the building including maintenance of the grounds and building.  Key retirement living related features of the development include a communal residents' lounge, a guest suite, laundry room and a lift that provides access to all floors.

The perfect environment for those in retirement, homes in this retirement development each contain a bedroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom containing either a shower over a bath or separate shower cubicle.
