Work on a new integrated retirement community in Exeter from Adlington Retirement Living is underway and set to complete in autumn 2025.
Radford House in the sought-after area of St Leonards will comprise 65 stylish one, two and three-bedroom retirement apartments for the over 65s in a safe and secure environment, with the benefit of patios or walk-out balconies to all apartments.
Alexandra Johnson, sales and marketing director for Adlington Retirement Living, said: “Radford House will have an excellent location, close to parks and green spaces, adjacent to the River Exe, and with easy access to Exeter City Centre.”
“Our award-winning approach to independent living ensures homeowners don’t have to compromise on their lifestyle, their social life or their independence. We aim to provide a community spirit whilst promoting independence and individual respect. It’s a chance to become part of a thriving community of like-minded people, with a shared outlook.”
Homeowners at Adlington Retirement Living’s new Exeter community will benefit from their own peaceful and spacious apartment and have access to well-maintained gardens, an on-site hair salon, therapy suite, homeowner’s lounge and restaurant.
Optional personal care packages are also available to suit individual residents’ needs. Be it short-term support after an operation or more regular, long-term tailored personal care, the team work closely with their local care partner to ensure a flexible solution to suit each individual.
Alexandra Johnson explains: “More of our homeowners are choosing to move to retirement communities whilst they’re fit and healthy to future-proof their retirement. We offer a personal approach to care to ensure that each individual receives just the right amount to maintain their independence, allowing them to enjoy their retirement to the full.”
“Even though many of our homeowners do not need specialist care, the Adlington on-site support team is always there in the background giving them and their families comfort that in the event of an unexpected fall, help is immediately to hand.”
Each apartment has been designed to make everyday life easier, safer and more comfortable. Every detail has been considered from the natural light and user-friendly layout to the spacious storage cupboards and private patios or balconies.
Quality fixtures and fittings will include hardwearing 80% wool carpets that reduce heat loss and add a touch of luxury, feature fireplaces and fully fitted kitchens with integrated appliances. Many will feature en-suite shower rooms as well as separate bathrooms and most will have a private patio area or walk-out balcony overlooking the beautifully landscaped gardens.
Four of Adlington’s retirement communities won Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards for the Best Retirement Development at the WhatHouse? Awards, the UK housebuilding’s most prestigious event.
