You’ll find all the benefits of a Retirement Living development but with thoughtful extra services that are there for you now, and in the future.

An hour’s domestic support each week is included – more if you want it, plus there’s the option of tailored personal care should you need it. Onsite parking and guest parking are available. Pets are welcome too!

Low maintenance and sociable

Our Retirement Living PLUS developments are designed to encourage 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, a bistro and a landscaped garden - ideal for meeting your friends, neighbours and family for a drink and a chat. Our communal facilities soon become social hubs – a hive of informal gatherings and regular clubs, events and meet-ups to suit all sorts of interests. You’ll find things like film nights, pie and mash lunches, knitting clubs, cocktail evenings, music, yoga, birthday parties and even the odd fiesta.

Safe, energy-efficient and secure

All our new retirement apartments are designed with intelligent ergonomics to ensure they are a joy to live in. As well as being well-insulated, warm and energy-efficient - which could mean substantial savings on bills - they have the latest safety and security features built in. Apartments offer fully fitted kitchens with integrated high-energy rated appliances, while master bedrooms have walk in wardrobes or fitted wardrobes as standard and a Sky Q connection point can be found in the living room. 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 - as well as the reassurance of a manager onsite 24/7.

Things to do in Exmouth

These lovely new retirement homes will be conveniently positioned just off Salterton road, near to a Tesco supermarket, opposite a bus stop and close to green spaces, with Exmouth’s vibrant town centre just a few minutes’ drive away. 

Exmouth is a lively port town and seaside resort, situated on the east coast of Devon, where the River Exe meets the sea. As well as a harbour, it boasts two miles of golden sandy beaches and is the gateway to the breath-taking Jurassic coast. 

The area offers plenty of opportunities to get out into the great outdoors, with abundant cycling and walking trails nearby, including the spectacular South West Coastal path. Exmouth is a wildlife hotspot with thousands of birds spending winter on the estuary at Exmouth Nature Reserve. Exmouth is also a popular spot for water sports. 

As well as a range of pubs and eateries, historic Exmouth has an indoor market, plenty of shopping opportunities and a Blue Plaque heritage trail. There are festivals aplenty too, with the annual Exmouth Festival of arts and music, the Kite Festival in August and, for seafood lovers, the Spirit of the Exe and Exmouth Mussel Festival in September.

Travelling further afield couldn’t be easier either. Exmouth Train Station is in the centre of the town and you can be in London Paddington in around three and a half hours.  By road, Exmouth is only 8 miles from the M5 and 11 miles from Exeter, which has an international airport.

We're much happier. Well I am, yes! I mean I did have some doubts, what am I going to do, you know, stuck in a two-bedroom apartment all day long with nothing to do. Now I am working out when am I going to get a break!

I have worked for McCarthy & Stone for over 10 years in various positions within the organisation selling retirement properties across the South West region. Nothing has given me more pleasure then seeing our customers making the transition moving from their current family homes that they have lived in for many many years, to one of our beautiful developments.. The look on their faces when they move into their chosen apartment is priceless as they leave all the stresses and strains behind them, watching them venture onto the next exciting worry free chapter of their lives. It gives me great pleasure each and every time I see that I have helped somebody else become another proud homeowner of a McCarthy & Stone property.
