Devon and Cornwall Coastal Retirment Homes

House buyers looking for a retirement home in Southern England could be enjoying one long holiday if they find a property to retire to in Devon or Cornwall, where there are stacks of attractions right on the doorstep, as well as breathtaking scenery and a lively market.The market town of Tavistock in Devon is an ideal location for retirement, perched on the edge of Dartmoor and just 15 miles north of Plymouth. The town offers excellent shops, an indoor market, theatre, park, cinema and swimming pool lovely tea rooms and a Farmers' Market. Sunnybanks Homes has created a gated retirement community of new homes in Tavistock called Little Field Court, offering a secure environment with low maintenance homes and low service charges (550 per annum). Priced from around 199,950, homes incorporate energy-efficient features, private gardens, an en-suite master bedroom, and an adaptable 'wet room' facility. Each home is sold on a freehold basis so buyers have no worries about paying ground rent or large exit fees if they sell. Located on the main bus route, the development is also ideal for animal-lovers because there are no restrictions on pets.Another retirement option in Tavistock is McCarthy and Stone's development of 51 one- and two-bedroom retirement apartments at St John's Court, 80% of which have already been sold. Conveniently situated for the town centre and its many amenities, and with a post office less than 500 metres away, these apartments are designed to enable older retired homeowners, aged 55+, to lead an active, independent lifestyle without many of the maintenance worries often associated with homeownership. Priced from 158,450, some apartments have a balcony, and all enjoy use of the communal residents' lounge, guest suite and laundry room.For those who want to be closer to the city, JBS Park Homes has retirement park homes available in Chudleigh Knighton, about 15 minutes from Exeter. This is a good budget option, with two-bedroom park homes from as little as 70,000, and larger plots up to 129,000. The retirement park benefits from beautiful rural views and is surrounded by countryside for residents to enjoy.For those considering a new-build property in Cornwall purpose-built for retirees, Retirement Villages have built the Roseland Parc development in seven acres of wooded and landscaped grounds in the historic village of Tregony, near Truro.
