Applegate House - Applegate House 'Retirement Living' development was constructed by award-winning McCarthy Stone to offer fantastic independent living opportunity for those aged over 60.

Living at Applegate House provides both Home Owners and family with the peace-of-mind provided by the day-to-day support of our house manager who oversees the smooth running of the development. All apartments are equipped with a 24-hour emergency call facility and sophisticated intercom system providing both an audio link to the main development entrance. Additionally there is also the excellent guest suite, widely used by visiting family and friends for which a small charge per night applies. The development enjoys excellent communal facilities including a super homeowners lounge, scooter store and landscaped gardens.

Applegate House has a wonderful friendly community feel, with a host of regular activities to enjoy thus making it really easy to meet new friends and to lead a busy and fulfilled life.
