**Summary**
Completed by award - winning developers McCarthy Stone in 2015, Barnhill Court
occupies an excellent position, an easy 10 - minute level walk to the thriving
and historic Chipping Sodbury High Street with its origins dating back to the
12th Century. In addition, a Waitrose Supermarket is very close by with easy
pedestrian access.
This is a ‘Retirement Living Plus’ development providing private apartments
specifically for those over 70 years of age and designed for independent
living with the peace - of - mind provided by the day - to - day support of our
excellent staff and Estate Manager who oversee the smooth running of the
development.
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
link to the main development entrance.
The development boast’s a host of facilities for the enjoyment of home owners,
not least of which is the beautiful communal lounge which is the hub of social
activities. There is also a restaurant with a fantastic, varied daily table -
service lunch. Lifts, serving all floors, a mobility scooter store, laundry
room and a lovely landscaped garden all benefit homeowners.
There is also the excellent guest suite, widely used by visiting family and
friends for which a small nightly charge applies. It’s so easy to make new
friends and to lead a busy and fulfilled life at Barnhill Court; there are
always plenty of regular activities to enjoy. These may include; coffee
mornings, art group, fitness classes, film night, games and quiz nights,
