Located on South Street, this development of retirement properties in Taunton
consists of 62 apartments, with each providing good access to the local
facilities and amenities of central Taunton.
Even though our retirement properties in Taunton offer you the perfect
opportunity to downsize, you’ll never feel like you’re making any sacrifices.
This is because, on the development, you’ll find everything you could possibly
need to enjoy a full and active retirement. This includes a bistro and a
communal lounge that will regularly host events. There is also a guest suite
for when family and friends come to stay, and pets are more than welcome.
All of our retirement Living plus properties are built specifically with the
over - 70s in mind. They allow homeowners to live independently while also
providing tailored help and support. Each homeowner at our retirement
properties in Taunton can choose the help they'd like, too. Whether that's
help with grocery shopping, hoovering or cleaning is entirely their choice.
It’s so easy to make new friends and to lead a busy and fulfilled life at
Kingfisher Court; there are always plenty of regular activities to choose
from. Whilst there is something for everyone, there is certainly no obligation
to participate and home owners can ‘dip in and out’ of activities as they
wish.
Central Taunton is part of the annual West Country Carnival circuit and hosts
the Taunton Flower Show. Within Taunton, you'll also find the Eat Wellington
Food and Drink Festival, and Fake Festival, which is home to some of the UK's
most popular cover bands.
In the evenings, you'll find plenty of opportunities to enjoy some local
theatre, arts and culture. The Brewhouse Theatre & Arts Centre stages regular
and varied performances throughout the year, while Tacchi - Morris Arts Centre
hosts theatre, dance and comedy shows, as well as a range of performances from
schools and colleges.
Sports fans are well catered for as well. Taunton is home to Somerset County
Cricket Club and occasionally hosts the England men's and women's national
teams. The town also contains a rugby union club, a rugby league club and a
football club. Elsewhere, Taunton Racecourse is only two miles away from the
centre of Taunton.
Transport links surrounding our retirement homes in Taunton are strong, which
makes the development perfectly situated for when family and friends come to
visit. Taunton Railway Station is located on several mainlines, providing

Minehead, Bridgwater and Weston - super - Mare.
