There was cause for celebration as Alberto Costa MP, Member of Parliament for South Leicestershire, joined local people for the grand opening of McCarthy and Stone’s new Retirement Living development, Mulberry Court on Enderby Road in Blaby.
The MP was on hand to mark the official opening of the development by performing the ceremonial ribbon cutting, while guests took advantage of their first opportunity to take a tour of the fully-furnished show complex and toast the new development with a glass of fizz.
Designed exclusively for the over 60s, Mulberry Court features a collection of 40 one and two bedroom luxury apartments, priced from £199,950 and £269,950 respectively. Potential purchasers can also take advantage of McCarthy and Stone’s range of tailored incentives, aimed at making moving easier. These include Part Exchange available for customers trading up or down.
Cheryl Bissett, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for McCarthy and Stone East Midlands, commented: “Our aim is to help older people stay independent for longer and to really make the most of their retirement, so we are delighted Mulberry Court has already proven so popular. We are very thankful to Alberto Costa MP for taking the time to visit our highly prestigious new development, and we are honoured he was able to join us to mark its official opening.”
Alberto said: “I am very grateful to McCarthy and Stone for their kind invitation to formally open my constituency’s newest retirement development, Mulberry Court. I had the pleasure of visiting the site a few months ago and I am now delighted to see the excellent finished development which will make a very worthwhile addition to South Leicestershire and the surrounding area”.
Facilities at Mulberry Court include a stunning homeowners’ lounge ideal for socialising with friends, beautifully landscaped gardens, and a convenient guest suite should homeowners have friends or relatives to stay. The development also benefits from its very own House Manager, who takes care of the smooth-running of the development. A security entrance system and 24-hour emergency call points will also provide added peace-of-mind for homeowners and their families.
The award-winning housebuilder offers a range of incentives aimed at making moving even easier and more affordable. McCarthy & Stone’s Smooth Move service includes contributions towards estate agent and legal fees. Alternatively, eligible homeowners can choose to Part Exchange their existing home – whether trading up or down – thus avoiding estate agent fees, sales chains, and the stress of moving out and in on the same day.
The beautiful suburb of Blaby presents a stunning backdrop for a relaxing retirement, and is well equipped to cater for modern retirees. Homeowners at Mulberry Court will be able to benefit from a range of essential amenities, from medical and leisure facilities to eateries and shops, including a Waitrose just a short walk away. The cathedral city of Leicester is also just a stone’s throw from Blaby for those wishing to venture further afield.
More than nine out of ten customers would recommend McCarthy and Stone to a friend, ensuring it has received the full Five Star award for customer satisfaction from the Home Builders Federation for 12 years’ running. McCarthy and Stone is the only UK housebuilder of any size or type to achieve this accolade, which is every year the awards have been run.
