The Cedars
Located just 15 miles south of the historic city of Chester, Malpas is an affluent village and a wonderful place to live. The McCarthy & Stone Retirement Living development is right in the heart of this small town, which means you're within walking distance to the local bakery, deli, and Co-op store. The development itself is home to a close-knit community, with just 2 one bedroom and 19 two bedroom apartments exclusively for those over 60.
The apartments feature fully fitted kitchens with double glazed windows for energy efficient heating. There are two Sky/Sky+ connection points in the living room and bedroom as well as telephone connection. Selected apartments also feature walk-in wardrobes. Enjoy the exclusive Homeowners' Lounge and invite visitors to stay overnight in the dedicated guest suite. There is also a House Manager on site and a 24-hour emergency system installed in every apartment. For those with limited mobility, you'll be well looked after - there's an on-site scooter store, car parking (available to purchase) and lift access to all floors.
The development is just moments from a pharmacy, dry cleaners, post office and Malpas high street boasts a health centre, dentist, pubs, restaurants and a church. Just opposite the development is the Malpas surgery and gorgeous views of the sweeping Cheshire countryside.

Living in Malpas
A friendly village in south west Cheshire, Malpas offers the best of both worlds - it's within easy distance to Chester and Liverpool, but also small enough so that you really feel a part of the local community. Cholmondeley Castle is a short drive away and is a great day trip as you can wander around the world-famous gardens and lakes and see the farm animals and birds.
