Stover Court - Constructed in 2013 by award-winning retirement home specialists McCarthy Stone, Stover Court is a ‘Retirement Living’ development providing a lifestyle living opportunity for the over 55’s and designed for independent living with the peace-of-mind provided by the day-to-day support of our excellent House Manager.
The property partly converted from the old Hospital is ideally located within a very short walk of a Sainsbury’s store, excellent Doctors Surgery, Pharmacy and the amenities of the Town Centre. The development enjoys excellent communal facilities including a homeowner’s lounge, laundry, mobility scooter store and landscaped gardens with an attractive courtyard.
All apartments are equipped with a 24-hour emergency call facility and sophisticated intercom system providing both a visual and verbal link to the main development entrance. There is also the excellent guest suite widely used by visiting family and friends for which a small charge per night applies.
It’s so easy to make new friends and to lead a busy and fulfilled life at Stover Court; there are always plenty of activities to choose from bringing neighbours and friends together on a regular basis. Whilst there is something for everyone there is certainly no obligation to participate and home owners can throw themselves in to every activity or social gathering, or equally remain at private as they wish.
The Local Area - Newton Abbot is a historic market town surrounded by beautiful South Devon countryside. The town is home to a large range of shops, restaurants and open spaces and is perfectly located close to both Dartmoor National Park and a number of lively seaside towns.

Within a short drive you’ll find Stover Country Park and the Ted Hughes Poetry Trail.
