Situated within walking distance of the centre of Cottingham – a large leafy village in East Yorkshire just outside Hull – this Retirement Living PLUS development offers all the care you need and amenities right on your doorstep.
Springs Court has 33 one and 19 two-bed apartments, a selection of which have their own balcony. All apartments have been designed with you in mind, providing ample living and storage space, along with easy-to-reach switches and ovens, and stylish but functional bathrooms. At the heart of the development is the cosy communal lounge in where homeowners can meet and socialise, and there's also beautiful landscaped garden in which to relax on sunny afternoons.
As a Retirement Living PLUS development, at Springs Court, there is an on-site Bistro providing hot meals and snacks daily, plus we can offer flexible support packages, designed so you pay only for care if you need it. There’s also an Estates Manager and 24-hour staffing should you need anything, with each apartment allocated one hour’s domestic assistance per week (additional support is available at extra charge).
For your reassurance, there is a 24-hour emergency call system, and, for security and peace of mind, the development has a camera entry system. What’s more, you needn’t worry what floor your apartment is on, as there is an easily accessible lift to all floors.
With Cottingham centre just 0.3 miles away, you’ll have all you could need right on your doorstep, including several small supermarkets, a wide variety of shops, eateries and pubs, several banks, a post office and a medical centre, among much more. The village also hosts a weekly outdoor market. And, if you’re wanting to travel a little further afield, there is onsite car parking and a scooter room, as well as a bus stop very close by and Cottingham train station less than a mile away.

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.
- You can enjoy the McCarthy Stone lifestyle without paying the full purchase price.
- Buying a percentage share of the property allows you to manage your finances to cater for possible future needs.
- If you buy 75% of the value of the property, there is no rent to pay on the outstanding share.
- You could claim up to £500 a year to help with essential repairs in the first 10 years.
With this scheme, you can purchase up to 75% of the value of your property – and if you own 75%, you won’t pay any rent on the outstanding 25% share. It provides a more affordable way to buy one of our retirement properties.

Living in Cottingham
Cottingham has a long and fascinating history, with castle remains in the village dating back to the 12th century and architecture in the village dating back to various historical periods. What’s more, among its most famous residents was the poet Philip Larkin, whose grave you’ll find in the village’s Victorian municipal cemetery.
Also in the area is Skidby Windmill – a working windmill that offers magnificent views over the Yorkshire Wolds. Unusually, the windmill’s original outbuildings are all still standing, some of which now house the Museum of East Riding Rural Life.
