Summary
Bath Gate Place, built by McCarthy Stone in Cirencester, has been designed and constructed for modern independent retirement living. Cirencester is an attractive, bustling market town steeped in history. The development consists of 34 retirement apartments for the over-60s and is within walking distance to the town centre, with its many amenities, parkland and a wealth of independent stores, restaurants, bistros and cafés. A supermarket, local gym, gp surgery and hospital are all close by.
The apartments boast Sky/Sky+ connection points in their living rooms, electric under-floor heating, facilities installed for off-peak electricity, fitted wardrobes in main bedroom and security door entry systems. The dedicated House Manager is on site during their working hours to take care of the running of the development.

For your peace of mind, the development has camera door entry and 24-hour emergency call systems, should you require assistance. The homeowners’ lounge provides a great space to socialise with friends and family.
