A retirement living community coming soon to Erdington is inviting local retirees to experience what life after 60 can be like.

With work well underway at Botham Place on Orphanage Road, McCarthy Stone is hosting a series of Information Days which will offer a deep dive into the unique brand of retirement living created with community and independence at its heart. Taking place every Thursday until the end of the year at nearby McCarthy Stone development, Powell House on Holland Road, prospective homeowners can learn more about the wealth of highlights that the new Retirement Living development will offer.

This includes a range of well-maintained communal spaces and one and two-bedroom affordable retirement apartments, exclusive to the over 60s. As well as offering attendees an exclusive first look at the apartment plans, the Information Days will provide more details about key construction milestones, expected Sales Release dates, an overview of the next steps, and guide prices.

This includes finding out more about McCarthy Stone’s Shared Ownership scheme which provides a helping hand by reducing the upfront cost of a new retirement property through a choice of home ownerships up to 75%. Named after the Birmingham architect, J. R. Botham, Botham Place has been cleverly designed to offer independence, coupled with safe and secure living.

Each of the retirement properties will pair well-appointed kitchens and bathrooms with low-maintenance living spaces and either patios or Juliet balconies. With very limited appointments, booking is essential and can be made by calling 0800 201 4384.

Declan Fishwick, Business Development Manager at McCarthy Stone said: “Buying a new home is always a big decision, but never more so when considering downsizing and embracing a new lifestyle in an age-exclusive development.

“That’s why we want to ensure those considering this lifestyle have as much information, support, and choice as possible. Our purpose-built, specialist homes allow people to live as independently as possible and make the most of their retirement in a warm, secure environment, where there’s always a friendly face when you want some company.

“We’re anticipating high demand, especially with our flexible purchase options, so we’d like to encourage anyone interested in learning more about the development to secure a place at one of our Information Days to hear how we can make a move work for them.” Future homeowners will be well catered for at Botham Place, with a wide range of amenities, excellent transport links and attractive green spaces, including Brookvale Park and Witton Lakes Park, on their doorstep.

They will also benefit from access to superb communal spaces, including a stylish lounge for regular social activities, and charming landscape gardens. Those wanting to take a closer look at the stylish interiors and the little details unique to the McCarthy Stone lifestyle can take a look at the virtual tours, which are now available on the McCarthy Stone website, giving prospective buyers the opportunity to explore the accommodation and social spaces.

More than nine out of 10 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.
