Roswell Court - Constructed in 2013 by renowned retirement home specialists McCarthy Stone and occupying an envious position with expansive sea views, Roswell Court provides a fantastic lifestyle living opportunity for the over 70’s.
A ‘Retirement Living Plus’ development designed for independent living with the peace-of-mind provided by the day-to-day support of our excellent staff and Estate Manager who oversees the smooth running of the development.
Homeowners benefit from an hour of domestic assistance included within the service charge each week, and there are extensive domestic and care packages available to suit individual needs and budgets.

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.
The property enjoys excellent communal facilities including a homeowner’s lounge, restaurant with a fantastic, varied and subsidised daily table-service lunch, laundry, mobility scooter store and landscaped gardens with views to the coast. A fantastic roof terrace proves a very popular meeting point in favourable weather and from which panoramic views are enjoyed. There is a path from the development leading down to Exmouth cricket ground and the sandy beach.

It’s so easy to make new friends and to lead a busy and fulfilled life at Roswell court; there are always plenty of regular activities to choose from including; an art group, fitness classes, tai chi, coffee mornings, bridge club, games and quiz nights, themed events and occasional organised trips to the theatre, coast and country. Whilst there is something for everyone there is certainly no obligation to participate and home owners can ‘dip in and out’ of activities as they wish.

The Local Area - Exmouth is a lively port town and seaside resort, situated on the east coast of Devon, where the River Exe meets the sea. As well as a harbour, it boasts two miles of golden sandy beaches and is the gateway to the breath-taking Jurassic coast.

The area offers plenty of opportunities to get out into the great outdoors, with abundant cycling and walking trails nearby, including the spectacular South West Coastal path. Exmouth is a wildlife hotspot with thousands of birds spending winter on the estuary at Exmouth Nature Reserve. Exmouth is also a popular spot for water sports.

As well as a range of pubs and eateries, historic Exmouth has an indoor market, plenty of shopping opportunities and a Blue Plaque heritage trail. There are festivals aplenty too, with the annual Exmouth Festival of arts and music, the Kite Festival in August and, for seafood lovers, the Spirit of the Exe and Exmouth Mussel Festival in September.

Travelling further afield couldn’t be easier either. Exmouth Train Station is in the centre of the town and you can be in London Paddington in around three and a half hours. By road, Exmouth is only 8 miles from the M5 and 11 miles from Exeter, which has an international airport
