Williamson Court - Williamson Court was built by McCarthy & Stone and designed specifically for assisted retirement living for the over 70’s. The development consists of one and two-bedroom retirement apartments with design features to make day-to-day living easier.

Williamson Court also benefits from laundry facilities, a central refuse collection point, landscaped gardens and a guest suite for visitors who wish to stay (additional charges apply).
