CONSTRUCTION has begun on retirement homes in Chipping Norton.

The first occupants of the 54 one and two bedroom apartments are expected in London Road in August 2018.

The Retirement Living Plus development on London Road is designed for people aged 70 and over and they can be bought from spring 2018.

The development offers retirees the opportunity to maintain an independent lifestyle, whilst also having access to tailored domestic and personal assistance packages to help them manage their day-to-day lives – and with an on-site bistro providing meals.

Martin Edwards, regional managing director for McCarthy and Stone West Midlands, commented: “We are delighted to announce construction has now started on our latest development in Chipping Norton.

"At McCarthy and Stone, we are committed to investing in delivering the right development for the needs of the local area; and our latest collection of apartments will not only provide Retirement Living Plus in a prime location, it will also breathe new life into the wider community.

“We have already received a high level of interest even at this early stage; and we are encouraging all those interested in retiring to Chipping Norton to register their interest without delay, or risk disappointment.”
