Exciting plans for a forthcoming Retirement Living development by McCarthy Stone have been given the green light in Oundle, with construction due to begin in spring 2026.
McCarthy Stone’s site management team, along with a select group of high-quality sub-contractors and professional team of architects, engineers, and designers, will deliver the new retirement homes for the over 60s on Herne Road.
Once complete, the independent living community will offer a contemporary mix of 43 one and two-bedroom retirement apartments, combining ergonomic design with stylish touches and energy-efficient features. Communal spaces, including beautiful landscape gardens, and a well-appointed lounge for social events and activities, will sit at the heart of day-to-day life, fostering a sense of camaraderie. A hotel-style guest suite for visiting friends and family and pet-friendly living options also add to the appeal.

Rebecca Johnson, Sales Director at McCarthy Stone, said: “We’re delighted to offer a greater choice of quality retirement living in Oundle. Our purpose-built, specialist homes allow people to make the most of their retirement, and to live as independently as possible.”

“We’re anticipating high demand for our Oundle retirement properties, with the development providing an ideal setting for retirees looking to be part of a wider community in a sought-after location with a range of amenities close by. Therefore, we’d like to encourage anyone who is interested to get in touch to receive updates on the development’s progress and to find out how McCarthy Stone can make a move work for you.”

For peace of mind, a House Manager will be on-site during office hours to ensure everything runs smoothly, while each property will be fitted with state-of-the-art security features, including a 24-hour emergency call system.
