Retirees looking to downsize are being invited to be amongst the first to secure one of the new McCarthy Stone Retirement Living developments on Priory Road.
Many of the apartments at ‘Barley Ridge Gardens’ will feature either a balcony or patio, and “high-quality fittings” alongside bright and spacious living areas.
A spokesperson for McCarthy Stone said: “The new apartments will enjoy stunning views over countryside, allotments and the River Welland to the rear but are also within walking distance of Stamford town centre.
“There you’ll find amenities including M&S and Waitrose plus pubs, restaurants, Stamford Corn Exchange Theatre, and public transport links.
"Communal lounges and landscaped gardens will allow homeowners to socialise, while a hotel-style guest suite will also feature on-site to accommodate friends and family who stay overnight.
“A House Manager will be on-site during office hours to oversee the day-to-day running of each development, while a 24/7 emergency call system and camera entry system in each property means homeowners can feel safe and secure”.
Prices at the new development are yet to be finalised, but one-bedroom apartments are expected to be available from £275,000, and two-bedrooms from £370,000.
Rebecca Johnson, Sales Director at McCarthy Stone, added: “We’re thrilled the development is taking shape, and to now be selling off-plan, and the retirement community has already proven popular with significant interest.
"With the development set to open its doors in summer 2026, we encourage anyone interested in hearing more about how McCarthy Stone can help them make the most of their retirement to get in touch as soon as possible.”
