ever - changing street view across the roof tops to Worlebury Hill and in the

Fussells Court is in a great location, just a short level walk from the local

pharmacy, doctors, hairdressers, bakers, bank, butcher supermarket, public

property was developed by multi - award winning McCarthy and Stone specifically

Fussells Court enjoys a host of communal amenities for the benefit of home
owners not least of which is the beautiful communal lounge overlooking the
well managed development gardens that are adjacent to the open recreation
ground. There is a lift serving all floors, an alternative stair lift, a
games/TV room, mobility scooter store and laundry room. Further peace - of - mind
is found in the service provided by the House Manager who will oversee the
smooth running of the development. There is also a 24 - hour emergency call
system in the apartments and communal areas. A guest suite is available to
receive family and friends for which a small charge of £25 per night is made.
This is a friendly and welcoming development and Home Owners can participate
in an amazing range of activities including; weekly coffee mornings, vintage
tea parties, Macmillan Coffee Mornings, rnli fundraisers, support for mind,
fund raising for Age UK and the local food bank. In addition, we have a weekly
hairdresser who has use of the kitchen facilities within the games room and a
choice of four visiting podiatrists - advance bookings accepted. The House
Manager organises fortnightly fish and chip events which are very popular. A
Knit & Natter group meets every Wednesday and everyone is welcome to join in.
McCarthy Stone works closely with Morrisons Supermarket, and home owners can
