We’ve all seen the headlines about the rising cost of living. Energy bills, fuel, groceries – it would appear everything is on the up. But worrying about finances is not what retirement should be about.
At McCarthy Stone, our retirement properties offer so much more than a safe, secure, modern home with help and support when you need it. Our stunning retirement apartments are designed to provide maximum energy efficiency – keeping you warm and toasty, whilst saving you money.
That’s because all our new retirement apartments are built with eco-friendly Modern Methods of Construction. This means, not only are they are a joy to live in, but every aspect of the design has efficiency and sustainability in mind.
- Heavily insulated walls mean the surprisingly spacious rooms remain cosy in winter.
- Contemporary double-glazed windows and glass doors maximise natural light while keeping out the cold.
- Highly-efficient electrical appliances like light-fittings, ovens, hobs and fridge-freezers are fitted as standard.
- Many apartments have under-floor heating for economy – and luxuriously cosy toes.
Without the worry of high energy bills, you’ll have more time to focus on enjoying your retirement. In our lively communities, the communal facilities – from the beautifully-maintained gardens with seats in the sunshine to the elegant lounges with free wi-fi – soon become social hubs. They’re a hive of informal gatherings and regular clubs, events and meet-ups to suit all sorts of interests. With things like film nights, pie and mash lunches, knitting clubs, cocktail evenings, musical events, yoga, birthday parties and even the odd fiesta – it’s enough to give you a warm glow inside.
So, why not come along and visit one of our developments – a warm welcome awaits you.
TOP ENERGY SAVING TIPS FROM OUR HOMEOWNERS
Our savvy energy saving homeowners have provided some top tips to save money on your bills.
- Vera at Chesterton Court in Ilkley suggests; “when putting the kettle on, only boiling as much water as you need and don’t overfill.”
- Patricia at Benedict Court in Newbury advises ways to cook smarter; “I prefer using my microwave to cook vegetables – it retains the colour, taste and nutrients and uses less energy than boiling.”
- Christine at Radford Court in Liphook suggests “Another obvious one but turn off taps when you don’t need to use running water, for example when you are brushing your teeth.”
- Ted from Wardington Court in Northampton said “It might sound obvious; but turn your lights off when you leave a room and turn appliances off standby mode. It can make all the difference and every little helps!”
