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.

The medieval town of Petworth in West Sussex is within the Golden Triangle, and home to a market square and many listed buildings, including Petworth House, the National Trust owned stately home.  It is surrounded by the beautiful grounds of Petworth Park, designed by Capability Brown and open all year round for open air concerts, picnics and countryside walks. 

Situated on Station Road, these planned retirement homes will be within easy walking distance of the main market square with its antique shops, cafés and restaurants.  Petworth also has a Cottage Museum and hosts an Annual Festival, Petworth Fair and Hidden Gardens Weekend.  Located half way between Midhurst and Billingshurst on the A272 road, there is plenty of beautiful countryside all around including Cowdray Park and Castle at Midhurst, and the South Downs, recently designated as a National Park.  There are also many delightful towns and villages close by such as Pulborough; East Lavington; Haslemere; Byworth; Tillington; Upperton; Fox Hill and River.  The city of Chichester is only 20 minutes away by car.
