New Assisted Living retirement apartments are planned for sale in Hitchin, Hertfordshire

McCarthy & Stone pioneered the concept of private purpose built retirement housing in the UK over 30 years ago. An Assisted Living retirement development bridges the gap between more conventional retirement living and residential care or a nursing home, by offering a range of additional features designed to help residents retain their independence and importantly, for those in retirement, home ownership.

The additional features, which extend to both the retirement flats and the communals include a waitress service restaurant, domestic assistance and personal care that can be tailored to meet the changing needs of residents in retirement.
Hitchin’s new assisted living retirement homes will be ideally situated close to Waitrose supermarket; the library; post office; museum and swimming centre.  There are bus stops adjacent and opposite, allowing easy access into the town centre; and to and from the surrounding villages of Ickleford; Ippollitts; Ashbrook and Gosmore.

The town has good transport links with the M1 and A1 trunk roads serving London and the north; central London being only 30 minutes away by train, and London Heathrow, London Luton and London Stansted airports within reach by car. 

Hitchin is a charming medieval market town with many fine Tudor and Georgian buildings, particularly around the market square.  There are good shopping facilities including a weekly street market near St Mary’s parish church, and a wide variety of restaurants and pubs.  Activities include two theatres: The Queen Mother Theatre and The Market Theatre, and two museums: the Hitchin Museum, and Hitchin British Schools Museum.  There is also a Bowls Club at Holwell; Letchworth Golf Club; Oughtonhead Common and Priory Park at Charlton. 

The Hitchin assisted living housing development is currently subject to planning, but it is our intention to construct independent assisted living retirement flats for the over 60's.

The perfect environment for those in retirement, homes in our assisted living retirement development will each contain a bedroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom containing both a bath and separate level access shower.
