A new McCarthy & Stone development has had planning approved in Taunton. Located on South Street, this development of retirement properties in Taunton will consist of 62 one and two bedroom apartments, with each providing good access to the local facilities and amenities of central Taunton.
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. When you buy one of our retirement homes in Taunton, you still get to own your own apartment, but you have a little bit of extra help on hand, in case you require it. 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 residents to live independently while also providing tailored help and support. Each resident at our retirement properties in Taunton can choose the help they'd like, too. Whether that's help with grocery shopping, hoovering or cleaning is entirely their choice.
This means that, should you purchase one of our retirement properties in Taunton, you'll have more time to spend enjoying the communal areas, the landscaped gardens and the beautiful surroundings of Taunton itself.

Buy
If you’d like to own your retirement property outright, we can make the move as stress-free as possible, including support with packing and removals. If you have a home to sell, we can even act as a cash buyer, so you’ll avoid chains and estate agent fees.
