Off-Plan Release Of Over-70s Apartments In Milton Keynes

People in Milton Keynes are invited to make the most of their first opportunity to reserve one of the brand new apartments at McCarthy Stone’s forthcoming Bluebell House Retirement Living Plus development, as the exclusive properties have now been released for off-plan sales.

Bluebell House has been exclusively designed for retirees aged 70 and over so they can continue enjoying their independent lifestyle, rather than worrying about the upkeep of a larger property. The development has already received a high level of interest from those who are looking to downsize to an apartment within a community full of like-minded people.

Once complete, Bluebell House will comprise 46 one- and two-bedroom apartments, with the first occupants expected in in spring 2023. The development will have plenty to offer, including an on-site bistro serving seasonally inspired menus for breakfast and lunch every day. In addition, there will be a wellness suite, which will have a salon offering a range of relaxing treatments, also a hotel-style guest suite for when family and friends come to visit, and a landscaped garden will be maintained all year round and provide a setting for many social activities during the summer months.

The sales release at Bluebell House also marks an important milestone for the Milton Keynes community, as, when the development is finalised, it is set to bring a financial boost to the local area.

According to the latest report by Homes for Later Living, retirement housing creates more local economic value and local jobs than any other type of residential development. It is also estimated that those living in a typical retirement development, such as Bluebell House, will generate £550,000 of spending per year, with £347,000 going to local shops on the high street. This will in turn help to support retail jobs and further enhance the local economy in Milton Keynes.

Sam Watkins, divisional sales director at McCarthy Stone, commented: “We are really pleased to launch the forthcoming Bluebell House in Milton Keynes. It has been reported that people living in retirement housing are more likely to spend money locally than people of the same age living elsewhere1, so the new McCarthy Stone Retirement Living Plus development is set to provide much-needed added investment for the local area. This will ultimately help keep local shops and services in Milton Keynes open, whether it be the butchers or the local café, and will benefit many other businesses that often make up the heart of our communities.”

Once finished, Bluebell House will have an on-site estate manager and an experienced team who will be on hand day and night to oversee the running of the development, in addition to providing a range of tailored domestic support packages to suit individual needs. There will also be a welcoming communal lounge, which will be perfect for getting to know new neighbours and socialising in.

One-bedroom apartments at Bluebell House start from £273,000 with two-bedroom apartments available from £377,500. Rental and part-buy, part-rent options are also available to make moving even easier.
