New properties to rent specifically designed to meet the needs of the over 55s market are approaching completion in Macclesfield.
Contour Homes Project Manager Louise Marsden said anyone looking for a contemporary new home to rent should apply now or attend an informal open day on Saturday 31 October.
“Contour Homes is developing just 49 apartments at Sutton Gardens,” she said. “One and two bedroom properties will be available to rent and we have included three specially adapted wheelchair access apartments for people who may have physical disabilities.
“All of the apartments and external grounds provide level access to the scheme which is also serviced by a lift to all floors. There is a small laundry facility and a communal lounge for the exclusive use of residents and we believe these homes are ideal for anyone looking to downsize to a home that offers modern living space with minimal maintenance.”
Quality and choice of housing for older people is a high priority for the new Cheshire East Council and Sutton Gardens definitely ‘fit the bill’, providing high quality, accessible accommodation to allow people to live more independently as they get older.
“In addition to the high internal specification, the scheme is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, a garden stroll pathway, a parking court and a patio area leading off the communal lounge,” adds Louise.
“The development is also well situated for public transport links and good local amenities.”
An open day on 31 October between 10 am – 2.00 pm will ensure that any queries you may have about the development are answered in full. The scheme will be completed later this year and all of the apartments will be available to rent for around £73.00 per week. You can apply now by contacting Cheshire Peaks and Plains Housing Association on 01625 553 553.
