New retirement apartments for sale in Altrincham, Cheshire

McCarthy & Stone pioneered the concept of private retirement housing in the UK and have retirement developments nationwide.

Retirement living from McCarthy & Stone 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.

Speakman Court retirement homes are located in the market town of Altrincham, Cheshire.  The 46 one and two bedroom retirement
apartments are ideally situated in Altrincham's residential area on the corner of Barrington and Gaskell Road, yet only 500 yards away from the town centre with banks, post offices, restaurants, shops, chemists, doctors and dentists.  The retirement homes are conveniently close to Altrincham train station and Metro Link, as well as the lovely gardens and aviary of John Leigh Park which was recently awarded the Silver Greenspace Award.

Altrincham was established as a market town in 1290, and there is still a market in the town today.  In 1974, the town became part of the newly formed Metropolitan Borough of Trafford in Greater Manchester.  Today, it has a strong middle class presence and a reputation as an affluent commuter town, partly due to its excellent transport links.  The train station and metro link allow easy access into Manchester city centre, Manchester Airport, and beyond, and there are good bus links in the area with regular services to neighbouring suburbs such as Sale; Bowden and Hale.

There are plenty of sports and social clubs in Altrincham, as well as more famous places to visit, such as the Garrick Theatre, or Dunham Massey, the early Georgian National Trust property which is situated in superb grounds with its own deer park less than 2 miles away.  Annual festivities include the Royal Ale Festival in April, and nearby Knutsford Royal May Day.

Residents at Speakman Court benefit from a communal lounge, a guest suite, laundry room and a lift providing access to all floors.

There is also a private outside seating area, good views from every window, and a beautifully maintained public parkway just outside the complex.
