Maple Court is a collection of one and two bedroom apartments designed exclusively for the over 60’s. The apartments, and indeed the development, encompass the changing lifestyle demands of people who know what they want and what they don’t want from their home.

Extensive market research shows the over 60’s want continued independence yet with added security and peace of mind. What they don’t want is many of the drawbacks which can come with property ownership in retirement or semi-retirement years.

All apartments offer double glazing, quality insulation and efficient central heating systems to help keep you in comfort but keep the running cost of your home to a minimum. There is also a lift to all floors. What you won’t have to worry about is the external up-keep of your home. Everything from window cleaning, gardening, external painting and cleaning of all communal areas is taken care of by the management company. As a result, you’ll have your own front door, an easy-maintenance apartment and a 24 hour call point alarm system which Cirrus Careline will be responsible for. Once activated, Careline will ensure that your needs are addressed swiftly and by the appropriate personnel. Added to that, a House Manager will be on duty 5 days a week, 9am til 5pm, to handle any day to day matters and to ensure the efficient operation of the building and grounds management company. This means you can enjoy your time doing things you want to do: practicing that golf swing, finally learning that new language you’ve always vowed to do or perhaps socialising with the other residents in the homely communal lounge.

Living among your peer group also means the opportunity to meet new friends and eliminates the worry of neighbours having all-night parties.

The pleasant and busy town of Brentwood, situated in south west Essex, is your quintessential "best of both worlds" location. On the one hand it is conveniently situated just over half an hour by train from London Liverpool Street and everything the capital has to offer. If your wonder-lust takes you further afield, Stansted, City and Southend airports are all within 40 minutes drive.

Alternatively, if you've had your fill of city life, step just outside of Brentwood and you'll find the surrounding countryside, country parks, top golf courses and attractive villages the perfect antidote to the hustle and bustle of modern-day life.

Brentwood itself has a good selection of shops including household names such as Marks and Spencer, Boots, Somerfield and Sainsbury's directly opposite as well as local specialist shops and recreational facilities for you to enjoy.

So, if you can force yourself to leave your newly-found dream home, you'll find no shortage of attractions vying for your attention.
