AN OPPORTUNITY to explore a retirement community in Crowthorne is on offer to residents next week.

McCarthy Stone is opening its doors for an early Easter celebration at its Birch Place development on Duke’s Ride.

The event runs from 10am to 3pm daily from Tuesday, March 28, through to Saturday, April 1.

It includes tours of the complex, a chance to see the show apartments, and discover more about the shared facilities on site.

And, being Easter, there is chocolate involved too. Visitors will be given a thank you gift of a box of artisan chocolates

The complex, which has the full title of Birch Place Retirement Living Plus, comprises one- and two-bedroom apartments designed for people aged 70 and over.

There is a communal lounge, an on-site bistro, landscaped gardens and a guest suite among the facilities.

An on-site estate manager is on hold for those who need additional assistance.

Nicki Beswarick, divisional marketing manager at McCarthy Stone, said: “Easter is a special time of the year and we’re delighted to be able to welcome local retirees to our Easter Open Week to share with them the unique brand of retirement living that McCarthy Stone offers.

“Many people seek to downsize as they reach their retirement years but that should never mean compromising on comfort, quality of life or independence. Visitors to the Open Week will be able to see for themselves the luxurious homes available, as well as the enviable on-site facilities which ensure a real community feel.”

Attendees are required to book an appointment in advance by calling 0800 153 3076.
