New Retirement Apartments Coming To Hook

McCarthy Stone, the multi-award-winning developer and manager of retirement communities, has revealed its new Retirement Living development on Station Road in Hook has been named Roslin Place.

The housebuilder called for the local community to name the new development, and the winning submission was from local resident, Victoria Jarman, who suggested Roslin Place after being inspired by renowned golfer, Justin Rose, who grew up in the area.

Victoria said: “I wanted to choose a name that had a connection to Hook, which is why I took inspiration from professional golfer, Justin Rose, as he spent much of his childhood in the area, and even started out playing at the nearby North Hants Golf Club. As there is set to be beautiful gardens at the development, I thought this tied in nicely. I decided to change it to Roslin, which is another word for rose, to offer something a little different and unique.”

Verity McKay, divisional marketing manager at McCarthy Stone Southern, said: “We wanted to choose a name for our new Hook development that was not only meaningful, but that would also resonate with local people. We’d like to say a huge thank you to Victoria for naming our new development, Roslin Place.”

McCarthy Stone has also revealed a first look of its brand-new Retirement Living development in Hook, with a CGI released to show how Roslin Place will look once complete. Properties are expected to be released for off-plan sales in July 2022.

Verity McKay continued: “We are looking forward to the launch of Roslin Place when apartment specifications and prices will be released. Early birds will benefit from purchasing off-plan by having the pick of all the available plots. It is an incredibly exciting time for our business as interest in the site is high amongst retirees who already live in Hook, as well as with those who are looking to downsize from further afield. We encourage anyone interested in finding out more to get in touch now.”

Once complete, McCarthy Stone’s Hook development will feature 19 one-bedroom and 18 two-bedroom private apartments for people aged 60 and over who are looking for an enjoyable and independent retirement.

The communal lounge will be perfect for socialising with new neighbours, and homeowners will be able to make the most of the landscaped gardens knowing all the maintenance is taken care of. They will also be able to feel secure in the knowledge that the house manager will be on hand to provide any help or support should they need it.

Customers will also be able to choose from a range of flexible Retirement Living solutions to suit them and their personal circumstances, whether they prefer to buy outright, rent, or take advantage of the part buy, part rent option.

McCarthy Stone has two main product ranges – Retirement Living, and Retirement Living PLUS. Retirement Living developments provide independence in private apartments designed specifically for the over-60s, as well as facilities such as communal lounges and guest suites that support companionship. Retirement Living PLUS developments, which are a form of Extra Care housing, are designed specifically for the over-70s, offer all of this plus more on-site facilities such as restaurants, well-being suites and function rooms. Importantly, they also provide on-site CQC-regulated care and support packages to assist those needing additional help.
