“We really recommend that homebuyers use our Open Week to ask any questions they have about retirement living and to see for themselves our elegant properties and superb facilities designed with easy living in mind. Scoresby View is quickly proving to be a popular development and now with our Move for Free offer, we’re expecting to see even more demand.”

Pairing low-maintenance independent living with a selection of superb communal spaces, Scoresby View will exclusively cater for the over 60s with 60 luxury one and two-bedroom retirement apartments. A well-appointed lounge and beautiful landscape gardens provide plenty of opportunity for socialising and relaxation, while a hotel-style guest suite comes in handy when loved ones come to stay overnight.

For peace of mind, a House Manager is on-site during office hours to ensure everything runs smoothly, and all properties are fitted with state-of-the-art security features, including a 24-hour emergency call system.

A range of purchase options are available at Scoresby View, such as the Shared Ownership scheme in partnership with Homes England, which allows retirees to enjoy the benefits of Retirement Living without committing to the full purchase price. For example, retirees can pay just 50% of the property value of an apartment at the development, and monthly rent payable on the remaining 50%, with one-bedroom properties available from £120,000 and two-bedroom properties available from £162,500**.

More than nine out of ten customers would recommend McCarthy Stone to a friend, ensuring it has received the full Five Star award for customer satisfaction from the Home Builders Federation. McCarthy Stone is the only UK housebuilder of any size or type to achieve this rating every year it has taken part in the survey.
