A new retirement community has opened its doors in Dartmouth, with the first homeowners now settling into apartments designed to support independent living and community connection.
Mewstone Place, a new development by McCarthy Stone, has officially opened in the town, with the Mayor of Dartmouth, Cllr Andrea Cates, joining residents, family members and staff to mark the occasion.
The development includes one and two-bedroom apartments and is located close to local amenities including supermarkets, Dartmouth Health and Wellbeing Centre and Dartmouth Leisure Centre. Dartmouth town centre and harbour are around two miles away, with public transport links connecting residents to the wider area.
Shared facilities at the site includea communal lounge, bistro restaurant and landscaped outdoor areas aimed at encouraging social interaction while allowing residents to maintain their independence and privacy.
Rebecca Johnson, sales director at McCarthy Stone, said: “Mewstone Place has been thoughtfully planned to complement the character and charm of Dartmouth, creating a community that feels both welcoming and well-established.
“It provides an opportunity for people to embrace independent living in one of Devon’s most picturesque locations, without losing the everyday connections that mean so much.
“We are proud to see the development come to fruition and to begin welcoming residents into what promises to be a thriving and supportive community.”
The development also includes an on-site House Manager during office hours, alongside a 24-hour emergency call system and camera entry system in each apartment.
McCarthy Stone said regional contractors and suppliers had been used during the development, with ongoing roles supporting the long-term management of the site.
