Set in the affluent and desirable market town of Macclesfield, Cheshire, Kings Scholars Court is a superb Retirement Living development for the over 60's, offering 11 one bedroom and 20 two bedroom beautiful retirement apartments available for sale. Some apartments offer private outside space and all share beautiful communal facilities and an amazing location in a town with a wealth of local amenities while offering breathtaking countryside on the doorstep.
This Retirement Living development in Macclesfield offers safe, secure, luxurious and low maintenance private retirement apartments, exclusive to the over the 60s. You’ll benefit from a friendly manager on-site to keep everything running smoothly and in tip top condition, as well as access to communal areas like the lovely lounge and large attractive gardens for socialising with the added feature of a potting shed. There are lifts to all floors as well as car parking, including space for guests, and a scooter store onsite. There is also a hotel-style guest suite as a convenient alternative when people come to stay. Pets are welcome too!

You’ll enjoy stylish well-maintained communal spaces, including the well-appointed lounge with free Wi-Fi, and a lush landscaped garden with potting shed - ideal for meeting your friends, neighbours and family for a drink and a chat. We've found the communal facilities have become social hubs – a hive of informal gatherings and regular clubs, events and meet-ups to suit all sorts of interests.

Occupancy options
The properties at this development are leasehold properties with a term of 999 years from and including 01/01/2023
It’s an affordable approach to owning a stunning new retirement home:
- You may be able to access cash tied up in your existing property (known as ‘equity release’)
- You can choose to buy a bigger percentage of the property in the future – this reduces the rent you pay
- If you want, we can buy your existing property as a part exchange
- You’ll be eligible for our free Smooth Move removal service, plus a contribution to legal and estate agent fees
The rent is set at the point of purchase. Annual rent review on the date specified in your lease will be indexed to movements in the Retail Price Index (RPI) subject to a minimum 0.5%. RPI has been in the range c.1-4% since 2013 and was 3.3% in March 2018. 3.3% is equivalent to an extra £1.98 per week for typical rent of £60 per week.

Built between 1719 and 1732, the house is open to the public, where you can marvel at its historical paintings, marble sculptures, antique furniture and 16th-century stained glass windows. The grounds also offer a tranquil setting for an afternoon stroll, with three lakes, formal gardens, an ice house and woodland walks, among other delights. The hall is also the setting for two more of Macclesfield's annual festivals. Rewind is an 80s festival featuring iconic performances and themed venues, while Classic Ibiza sees classic Ibiza anthems played by the Urban Soul Orchestra with a live DJ and internationally renowned vocalists.
Fantastic opportunities for outdoor activities abound in Macclesfield Forest and the nearby Teggs Nose Country Park. Both are great for walking, horse riding, cycling and fishing. Macclesfield Forest is also an excellent place for bird watching, with the Peak District's largest heronry at Trentabank Reservoir, and Teggs Nose offers stunning views across the Cheshire Plain.

The striking white bowl of this radio telescope is 75m in diameter and can be seen for many miles around! Visit the Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre to explore the wonders of the universe and learn more about the workings of the telescope. Plus, Jodrell Bank is also the venue of the annual Bluedot Festival, celebrating music, science, art, technology and space exploration.
