MCCARTHY and Stone has begun building its Knutsford Retirement Living development, which will feature 46 luxury one and two bedroom low-maintenance apartments for people aged 60 and over.

The first homeowners are expected to be welcomed in the summer of 2021.

Fiona Brooks, divisional sales director at McCarthy and Stone, said: “Our development in Knutsford has already attracted significant levels of early interest from the community who are seeking the privacy and independence that comes with owning your own home, but with all the benefits of living in a secure development surrounded by a community of like-minded individuals.

"With construction now under way, we will soon be announcing details of sales information events, so now is a good time for retirees in Knutsford to get in touch and register their interest so they can be among the first to receive any updates and event invitations.”

Future homeowners at the Knutsford Retirement Living development will have access to a communal lounge, landscaped gardens and a guest suite for when family and friends come to stay.
