McCarthy Stone – Loddon House or Birch Place

Luxury living for retirees in Berkshire

McCarthy Stone, the UK’s leading developer and manager of retirement communities, is proud to showcase a new outlook on retirement living with its latest developments, Birch Place in Crowthorne and Loddon House in Twyford. The beautifully-finished, low maintenance and spacious apartments at each development offer all the home comforts you could ever need, with a choice of social and leisure activities right on your doorstep.

The two developments in Berkshire offer two exclusive options to suit all stages of retirement. The Loddon House Retirement Living development features spacious and stylish two-bedroom apartments exclusively designed for those aged 60 and over, while Birch Place, the Retirement Living Plus development in Crowthorne, has been designed for retirees aged 70 and over.

Situated in close proximity to a number of National Trust walks along the river, Loddon House offers retirees the opportunity to be close to nature, whilst still enjoying the convenience and amenities of the Twyford village, which has several quaint shops, restaurants, and pubs. Birch Place is situated just over half a mile away from the local high street, featuring a range of banks, pharmacies, hairdressers and restaurants, as well as a convenient supermarket, to offer the best of rural English life.

Loddon House and Birch Place have plenty to offer the most discerning retirees, with stylish fixtures and fittings, including top of the range built-in appliances in every apartment at each development. Beautifully landscaped gardens are maintained all year round for the enjoyment of McCarthy Stone homeowners and are the setting for many garden parties and social activities during the summer months.

At Loddon House and Birch Place, you can live independently and choose your own pace of life, while knowing there’s always someone to share a coffee or a glass of wine with in the homeowners’ lounge or taking part in the events and activities on offer each week. 

It is reassuring to know that both developments have a 24-hour emergency call system in place to provide emergency assistance should it ever be needed. At Loddon House, a House Manager is also available during office hours to oversee the day-to-day running of the development, and to help with anything you might need to enjoy the independence of your new home. At Birch Place, a trained Estate team is on hand to manage the development 24-hours a day, and retirees also have access to flexible domestic care packages which can be tailored to provide varying levels of support.

To take a tour around McCarthy Stone Loddon House or Birch Place, please call 0800 310 0383 or visit www.mccarthyandstone.co.uk/berkshire.
