New retirement apartments planned for sale in Hythe, Southampton.

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

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.

The village of Hythe occupies a prominent position on Southampton Water.  It has a small shopping area clustered around its High Street, which includes a supermarket, a public library, several charity shops, and a number of small independent shops. The pier railway and ferry service across Southampton Water to Southampton operates at half-hourly intervals throughout the day, and the pier train is the oldest working in the world. Hythe has an attractive marina, and boasts one of the best vantage points for viewing cruise liners entering and leaving Southampton port. 

Situated on Southampton Road, these retirement flats will enjoy the convenience of being located within 200 metres of the main shopping area in Hythe, and not far from Hythe Marina.  Most of the area is pedestrian friendly and all amenities are on a level walk. 

There are regular bus services to local areas such as Dibden Purlieu; Applemore; Hardley; Holbury and Fawley, or to Southampton city centre via Marchwood and Totton, or to Calshot at the southern end of Southampton Water. 

The Hythe development is currently subject to planning permission, but our proposal is to construct independent living retirement flats for the over 60's.

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

The perfect environment for those in retirement, homes in this retirement development will each contain a bedroom, living room, kitchen and shower room with level access shower and the option to change to a bath if required.

Subject to planning permission.
