Retire to Beccles
On the Suffolk/Norfolk border and on the southern edge of the Norfolk Broads, Beccles is a historic market town with a picture-perfect setting on the banks of the River Waveney.
Local retirees love:
- Amenities, with a comprehensive mix of supermarkets and big brand stores plus thriving independents from bookshops to bakeries, a Friday market and an impressive range of pubs, cafés and restaurants.
- An active retirement with kayaking and boating on the River Waveney and walking and cycling on the Beccles Marsh Trail. There’s also leisure opportunities at the Beccles Lido, Beccles Town Bowls Club and Beccles Golf Club.
- A strong community with a friendly local U3A — with interest groups from historic walks to jazz — and events like the annual duck race and carnival weekend.

Homeowner testimonials: telling it like it is
We believe we create great places to live. Beautiful award-winning retirement apartments in brilliant locations with thoughtful, reassuring, services on tap and a thriving friendly community on the doorstep.
But what do people living in our communities think? We regularly ask for feedback on everything from the sales and moving in process to the lifestyle and services. Here’s what our homeowners have to say:
On Friday morning, we head to the sky lounge for a coffee, on Sunday we bring our own drinks and sit in the bar. We also have craft mornings, sports nights, along with regular lunches out. It’s a lot of fun as everyone is welcome.
