This Retirement Security Court creates a stress-free lifestyle, with a dedicated housekeeping team completing a detailed weekly cleaning of your dwelling, and 24-hour on-site staff, meaning there is always a friendly face available to help in an instant. Boat Lane Court promotes the best quality living for all: Owner-led Social and Gardening Committees, weekly keep-fit, tai chi, yoga, and salsa classes improve physical and mental wellbeing and inspire Owners to learn new skills. The knit & natter club and U3A group encourage Owners to socialise, and movie nights further highlight the community-feel of Boat Lane Court.
Northenden combines accessibility, community, and natural beauty, offering Owners a balanced lifestyle, all only four miles from the urban convenience and rich culture of Manchester City Centre. The Court is conveniently located close to Manchester Airport and the M56 and M60, allowing for easy travel for yourself and any visitors. There are also great local bus services and metro links to help you navigate the city. You will always have something to do: the local Block Cinema, Theatre Northenden Players and Northenden Social Club host ever-changing entertainment, and a wide variety of restaurants and shops are available to visit at your leisure.
Necessities such as supermarkets like Co-Op and Tesco Express are just down the road, and a GP Surgery is less than half a mile from your Court. Just over one mile away sits the award-winning Fletcher Moss Botanical Gardens and close to scenic walks and cycling paths along the River Mersey where you can indulge in all beautiful things. Instead, you might visit the grand 109-hectare Wythenshawe Park, or head over to one of the three surrounding golf courses such as Withington Golf Club where the grass is always greener!
Boat Lane Court prioritises you: creating an exceptional experience that exceeds expectations and emphasises luxury - run by Owners, for Owners.
Providing a unique approach to independent retirement living, Retirement Security was established in 1983. We have continued to trail blaze for over 40 years with 32 Courts across England and Wales all offering a range of high-level services to make life easier.
Our founder, Bob Bessell, committed to provide retirees with a wider selection of retirement options, ones that offered affordability, a secure environment and a supportive community, alongside retaining financial control – Courts ‘Run by Owners, for Owners’. These carefully designed properties bridge the gap between luxury retirement living and preserving your independence for as long as possible.
It is important to note that a significant proportion of the Service Charge relates to items which the prospective purchaser is responsible for in their present home, such as building insurance, building maintenance, gardening, and domestic help.
The lease provides that a transfer premium is payable to Retirement Security on resale of a property. The maximum premium payable is 3% of the sale price depending on the length of time an Owner has lived at the property. Further information is available from the Court Manager.
