Balshaw Court consists of 62 stylish one and two-bedroom retirement homes, exclusive to the over 70s and conveniently located close to Leyland town centre. These stunning retirement apartments are available for sale or rent and incorporate intelligent design, giving you gorgeous, yet practical living spaces.
As a fairly large development of 30 one-bed and 32 two-bed apartments, you’ll find yourself in a bustling community of like-minded individuals. In addition to the communal lounge and landscaped garden, where you’ll be able to socialise with your fellow homeowners, the development’s Estate Manager will organise regular social events, from book clubs to film nights, where you can catch up with friends and meet new people.
Each and every apartment will be designed to the highest specification, with some even having balconies, while features will be incorporated to ensure your day-to-day life is as easy as possible, such as raised sockets and ovens to minimise bending and non-slip bathroom flooring. And, for the days when you don’t feel like cooking or shopping, the development will feature an onsite bistro for your convenience (serving excellent value, hearty food).
The care provisions at all of our Retirement Living PLUS developments are totally flexible. Your care package will be tailored to you and you’ll pay only for the support you need and use. A 24-hour emergency call system and a camera entry security system will be installed to ensure you feel safe and secure in your new home. Plus, we guarantee accessibility throughout, with lifts to all floors.
You will find a bus stop within a two minute walk from Balshaw Court, there will be onsite car parking and a scooter room, so you won’t have any trouble getting around. What’s more, less than a mile away is Leyland town centre, where you’ll find three supermarkets, a leisure centre, a library, a medical centre and a whole host of shops and eateries.

What is an Assured Tenancy?
Assured Tenancy means that you agree to rent the property for a minimum term of 12 months, but after that you can leave at any time as long as you give two months written notice. We can’t ask you to leave unless you have broken the terms of the agreement.
I want to rent. What checks do you carry out and what do I need to prepare?
We’ll ask you to complete a Rental Application Pack and an Income and Expenditure form to get the information we need to do standard background checks. You’ll be asked for proof of income, savings and/or pensions, along with copies of your last three months’ bank statements. You’ll be asked to provide identification documentation that complies with the latest Government Right to Rent regulations – our sales consultants will talk you through what you need.
Do I need to pay a reservation deposit?
Yes, you will need to pay a small refundable reservation deposit to reserve the property. You will also have to pay a security deposit equivalent to five weeks rent when you move in.
What do I have to pay before moving in?
Before you can move into your property, you will need to pay the first month’s rent together with your security deposit, minus the reservation deposit you’ve already paid.
The security deposit is equivalent to five weeks rent. Don’t worry, we’ll make sure you know the exact amount you need to pay in plenty of time.
McCarthy Stone is part of the Tenancy Deposit Scheme, membership number G10625. Download the Tenancy Deposit Scheme leaflet.
What date are rental payments due?
All rental payments are due on the 1st of each month and must be paid by direct debit. Your rent includes all of the development’s service charges, ground rents and property maintenance.

Living in Leyland
As well as a thriving town centre, Leyland is home to Worden Park, a large park of mature woodlands and open meadows. The park is just half a mile from the development site and features many well-marked paths for quiet strolls, a beautiful Georgian walled garden and a delightful little café. Plus, if you have family coming to visit, there’s a large children’s play area, crazy golf and even a hedge maze.
For both seasoned and new golfers alike, Leyland Golf Club is also under a mile away. As well as the 18-hole parkland course, a large practice area is available, with a practice bunker, chipping facilities and a 9-hole putting green. The club is happy to accept new members and also welcomes visitors.
Also in Leyland is the British Commercial Vehicle Museum. From horse-drawn vehicles of the 1880s and the first steam-driven wagons to modern lorry cabs, the museum has over 60 historic vehicles on display. A meander through this small museum may take longer than you might expect, with so much to explore. Climb aboard a vintage fire engine, discover how developments in motor vehicles have made the roads safer today and even see the Pope-mobile, specially built for Pope John Paul’s visit in 1982.
In the nearby town of Chorley is Astley Hall. Dating back as far as the 1570s, with major additions in the 1600s and 1820s, the hall is a Grade I listed building with a fascinating history, with William Shakespeare and Oliver Cromwell both having stayed here. It houses a museum and art gallery brimming with items of local historical interest. Visit the hall to discover more of its history, full of plots and religious turmoil. Marvel at the hall’s stunning architectural features and admire the beautiful artwork and furniture on display, most of which were collected by the families who lived here.
You’ll find plenty to see and do near the development. For example, it’s only 0.3 miles from South Ribble Museum and Exhibition Centre and Leyland Library. The beautiful Worden Park is also only 0.6 miles away, making it perfect for a leisurely walk.
Also, there is a Post Office and Tesco Extra within a short walking distance, along with other retail and convenience shops.
