For retirement specialist, Beechcroft, Wallingford is a particularly important location. It is home to the company’s head office and many of the head office staff live locally but it also provides the setting for two of Beechcroft’s most popular retirement developments.
Now, construction is just commencing on a third retirement development – Longcross Place – in the Winterbrook area. Designed exclusively for the over 55s, Longcross Place will comprise 23 two-bedroom apartments, each with a private terrace, balcony or private garden.
“We started work on site in March 2023 and anticipate that we will be in a position to launch the show home early next year,” says Construction Director, Darren Smith pictured onsite below. “The new homes will be energy efficient and easy to maintain, there will be allocated parking with charging points for electric vehicles and the whole development will be set in beautifully landscaped, fully maintained communal gardens. This development will also feature the Beechcroft Healthihouse™ specification with fixtures and fittings designed to reduce the spread and growth of bacteria and be conducive to good health.”
“We have already started to receive enquiries for Longcross Place,” comments Angela South, Sales and Marketing Director. “Our two previous developments sold swiftly and we anticipate that this new retirement community will be equally successful. Our recent in-house research reveals that, according to residents, one of the best things about moving to a retirement development is living in a peaceful community of like-minded neighbours. On each development, our Estate Managers play an important role in bringing neighbours together and are on hand to offer help, advice and guidance if needed as well as keeping an eye on properties whilst owners are away.”
“If anyone hasn’t visited a Beechcroft development before, it’s worth visiting Castle Gardens in Watlington to take a look at the space, light and high-quality fixtures and fittings on offer.”
