Our Retirement Living PLUS properties are a great solution if you're looking to free yourself from the burden of managing and maintaining a large family home.

We also take care of all the exterior maintenance of your home and our development includes great features such as a communal lounge, guest suites for when friends and family visit, and an on-site bistro.
All of our retirement Living PLUS properties are built specifically with the over-70s in mind. They allow homeowners to live independently while also providing tailored help and support.
