Set in the heart of the leafy village of Willaston on the Wirral Peninsula, this Retirement Living development offers the opportunity for rural living while only 8 miles from Liverpool and 10 miles from Chester. With just 30 apartments, consisting of 20, one-bedroom and 10 two-bedroom, Symonds Grange mirrors the community spirit of the village in which it is situated.

Low maintenance and sociable

Symonds Grange Retirement Living development is designed to encourage the community feeling to flourish, while also allowing you to enjoy the complete privacy of your own spacious retirement apartment. You’ll enjoy stylish well-maintained communal spaces, including the well-appointed lounge with free Wi-Fi, and a lush landscaped garden - 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.  There's something for everyone to enjoy!

Energy-efficient, safe and secure

All our new retirement homes are designed with intelligent ergonomics and energy-efficiency built in to ensure they are a joy to live in - and save you money on energy bills too. As well as being well-insulated, light and warm, they have the latest safety and security features. You’ll benefit from a 24-hour emergency call system, fire detection and door camera entry, so you can see who it is before answering the door.

Fantastic location

Stroll out the front door and you'll find yourself in the quaint village with independent shops and village green.  What's more, there's excellent transport links. All your modes of transport covered with our onsite car parking, cycle store and scooter room. Hooton railway station is just 2 miles away and there's easy access to the M53.

At Christmas, we invited children from a local school to come along and sing Carols for the homeowners. It was such a lovely event. We all had a wonderful time and the development was filled with the Christmas spirit!
The local area

Living in Willaston

The village of Willaston is the perfect size. It's large enough to be self-sufficient, but small enough to retain its friendly community atmosphere. Being a conservation area gives the village a truly rural feel, while Liverpool and Chester lie within 10 miles. The development is situated in the heart of the village centre. Here you'll find many ancient buildings, a quintessential village green and the restored Hadlow Road railway station. Closed to passengers in 1956, the station has been restored to its former glory and the track-bed has become a stunning 12-mile coastal path - the 'Wirral Way'. Cycle or walk as many miles as you like and take in the beautiful scenery, passing through picturesque places such as Thurstaston and West Kirby along the way.

The Wirral Country Park also lies along coast of the peninsular. Explore some of its fascinating nature trails and take the chance to spot local wildlife. And the Thurstaston Visitor Centre is only all year round. Perhaps in the summer you might even be able to make the most of its barbecue area! The village also features a host of amenities, including a supermarket, a charming tea room, a library, two pubs (both serving excellent food), two churches, a GP practice, a pharmacy, a hairdresser, and a barbers.

The village's recreation ground features tennis courts, football pitches, a children's play area and a pavilion. It is also the venue of the village festival (held once every three years), where you'll see many people in fancy dress and colourful parades and you can peruse bustling market stalls. And, for the green-fingered among you, you could join the local Horticultural Society. There's also an active Women's Institute in the area.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing our customers make the transition moving from their current home that they have lived for many years to one of McCarthy Stone's stunning apartments. Seeing our new homeowners leave all the stresses and strains behind them and enjoy the next chapter of their lives gives me great pleasure each and every time I make someone else a proud homeowner at a McCarthy Stone development.
