New retirement apartments planned for sale in Stroud, Gloucestershire.

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 Gloucestershire market town of Stroud is situated on the western slopes of the Cotswolds Hills, only 10 miles from Gloucester, and 14 miles from Cirencester and Cheltenham.  It is a lively town with plenty of amenities and a weekly award winning Farmers' Market.  Waitrose, Tesco and Iceland can be found in the town, and there is also a Sainsbury's nearby in Dudbridge.  There are two hospitals in the area: Stroud General Hospital, and Cashes Green Hospital.

Stroud acts as a centre for surrounding villages and small market towns such as Stonehouse; Thrupp; Nailsworth; Minchinhampton and Bagpath, and enjoys good transport links. The A46 Roman road from Bath to Cleethorpes passes through the town and picturesque Pitchcombe on its way to Painswick, and Stroud's main railway station provides services to Gloucester, Cheltenham, Swindon, Reading and London.  

Situated on Cainscross Road in Stroud, overlooking the canal, the planned retirement homes will be close to Stroud's main shopping area and railway station. 

The Stroud 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.
