Summary
Mulberry Court was designed and built by McCarthy & Stone specifically for independent retirement living. The dedicated House Manager is on site during their working hours to take care of the development. There's no need to worry about the burden of maintenance costs as the service charge covers the costs of all external maintenance, gardening and landscaping, external window cleaning, buildings insurance, water rates and security systems, as well as cleaning and energy costs of the Home Owners lounge and other communal areas. The homeowners' lounge provides a superb space for you to meet with friends and neighbours.
When you have guests visiting from afar, there is also a guest suite on-site meaning they can extend their stay (usually for a fee of around £25 per night). Should you need assistance (day or night) McCarthy & Stone have installed a system that operates through a pull cord and can summon help whenever you need it. For added security the apartments are fitted with secure video entry systems linked to your TV,

Alternatively, one of Britains biggest out-of-town shopping centres, Fosse Park is less than 2 miles from the development and offers over 30 stores (including Marks & Spencer, Boots and wh Smith) and several restaurants.
