Summary - The Laureates was purpose built by McCarthy & Stone for retirement living. The development consists of 32 one and two-bedroom retirement apartments for the over 60s.
A House Manager is on hand during office hours and there is the benefit of security features including a 24-hour emergency call system and a camera door entry system linked to your TV, so you can see who's calling before letting them in.
The Homeowners' lounge provides a great space to socialise with friends and family. If your guests have travelled from afar, they can book into the development Guest Suite (usually for a fee of £25 per night - subject to availability).
There's no need to worry about being weighed down by maintenance costs either as the service charge covers the cost of external maintenance, gardening and landscaping, window cleaning, buildings insurance, water rates, security and energy costs of the homeowners lounge with kitchen facilities and other communal areas.
The apartment benefits from underfloor heating throughout, is in very good decorative condition.
