Exclusive Off-Plan Properties To Be Released For Sale In Taunton

The exclusive properties are set to be released for off-plan sales from the 18 February, and the Kingfisher Court development in Taunton has already received a high level of interest amongst retirees who are looking to downsize to an apartment within a community full of like-minded people.

When complete, Kingfisher Court will comprise of 62 one- and two-bedroom apartments, with the first occupants expected in summer 2022. The sales release at Kingfisher Court will also mark an important milestone for the Taunton community as, once complete, 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 Kingfisher Court, 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 Taunton.

Verity McKay, divisional marketing manager at McCarthy Stone Southern, says: “The past two years has been difficult for everyone, but high streets up and down the country have been particularly affected by the pandemic. The forthcoming Kingfisher Court Retirement Living Plus development is set to provide added investment for the Taunton area, as it has been reported that people living in retirement housing are more likely to spend money locally than people of the same age living elsewhere. This will ultimately help keep local shops and services in Taunton 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.”

Future homeowners at Kingfisher Court will have access to a stylish and welcoming communal lounge, which will be perfect for socialising with new neighbours, landscaped gardens maintained by McCarthy Stone’s team, and a handy guest suite for when family and friends come to stay. The development will also feature an on-site bistro style restaurant. 

An estate manager will take care of the day-to-day running of the development, while secure entry systems and 24-hour emergency call points will provide added peace-of-mind.

Those interested in Retirement Living Plus at McCarthy Stone’s forthcoming Taunton development are invited to call 0800 310 0383.
