*Pet Friendly* *Energy Efficient*

Lys Lander - Completed in late 2014 by award-winning retirement home specialists McCarthy Stone, Lys Lander is a ‘Retirement Living’ development providing a quality-of-lifestyle opportunity for the over 60’s and designed for independent living but with the peace-of-mind provided by the day-to-day support of our House Manager, who oversees the smooth running of the development.
There are extensive communal facilities including homeowner’s lounge, laundry, scooter store and landscaped gardens. There is also a super guest suite widely used by visiting family and friends for which a small charge per night applies. A lift leads from the development providing direct street level access.
All apartments have a 24-hour careline facility and secure intercom entry intercom providing both an audio and visual link to the development main entrance. Each apartment also has it's own intruder alarm.

There are always plenty of regular activities to choose from including a choir, art group, fitness classes, coffee mornings, games and quiz nights, themed events and occasional organised trips. Whilst there is something for everyone there is certainly no obligation to participate and home owners ‘dip in and out’ of activities or quite naturally, remain as private as they wish.
