**Introduction**
Constructed in mid - 2014 by renowned, award - winning developers McCarthy Stone,
Ellisfields Court consistently continues to be one our most sought - after
developments and it is not difficult to understand why; a quiet location yet
within short easy access to the town centre. Beautiful landscaped gardens with
pond that back directly onto Taunton Dean cricket ground with Vivary Park
nearby.
This is a ‘Retirement Living plus’ development providing a lifestyle living
opportunity for the over 70’s and designed specifically for independent living
with the peace - of - mind provided by the day - to - day support of our staff and
Estate Manager who oversee the smooth running of the development. The property
enjoys excellent communal facilities including a home owners' lounge,
restaurant with a fantastic, varied daily table - service lunch, laundry room,
scooter store and landscaped gardens.
Ellisfields Court is a vibrant development with plenty of regular activities
and ample opportunity to 'get involved', socialise and make new friends.
Equally however, there is, of course, no obligation to participate and home
owners "dip in and out" as they wish.
Homeowners benefit from one hour of domestic assistance each week and there
are extensive domestic and care packages available to suit individual needs
and budgets. All apartments are equipped with a 24 - hour emergency call
facility and sophisticated intercom system providing both a visual and verbal

widely used by visiting family and friends for which a small charge per night
applies.
