Spacious, light and contemporary, our retirement properties are designed to be a pleasure to live in, with high spec, high quality fixtures and fittings throughout.

This Dorset retirement village offers a variety of amenities to make your life easier too. You’ll find a bistro serving morning coffee and delicious lunches, a wellness zone with health and fitness studios, as well as a hair and beauty salon and a sociable homeowners’ lounge. There’s also a pretty rural walking trail running around the development.

Wimborne Minster is a picturesque and historic market town with Roman origins and an idyllic position near the rivers Stour and Allen. As well as the famous Minister with its many treasures, including a chained library, you can’t miss the unusual Wimborne Model Town and Gardens. An intricate miniature version of Wimborne in the 1950s, complete with flushing toilets, it’s a must see. Cyclists and strollers will enjoy meandering around the tranquil pathways, the pretty central square, the Willow Walk and along the wild-life rich riverbanks.

  • a living room with a couch and chairs
    My life since October 2024 has completely changed for the better. Here at Market house I have a comfortable Apartment and my electricity bills are a quarter of what I was paying in my old bungalow. I don't have to worry about Maintenance. I used to dread the wind and rain in case tiles came off my roof. There was also the cost of a Gardener to keep my garden tidy but now I can look out from my balcony to beautifully kept lawns and borders.
    Homeowner, Market House
