Isabel Court - Completed in early 2012, Isabel Court is a wonderful development of private apartments built by award-winning developers McCarthy Stone. Specifically designed for ‘Retirement Lifestyle’ for those over 55 years of age, the development enjoys a host of facilities for the benefit of home owners including; a super communal lounge, a lift service all floors, mobility scooter store, laundry room and a landscaped garden backing onto the adjacent St. Thomas Park. Further peace-of-mind is found in the service provided by the excellent House Manager who oversees the smooth running of the development. There is also a 24-hour emergency call system in the apartments and communal areas. A guest suite is available for family and friends, for which a small charge per night is made.

It’s so easy to make new friends and to exercise both body and mind at Isabel Court; there are always plenty of regular activities to choose from including; coffee mornings, games and quiz nights, seasonal and themed events and occasional organised trips. 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 - Isabel Court is located on an active suburban Street with a plethora of shops (a Tesco Express is adjacent to the development), restaurants and bars, hairdressers, health centre and so many other useful amenities. Bus routes are located outside the development whilst Exeter St Thomas rail station is at the Eastern end of Cowick Street less than a quarter of a mile away. Exeter has a real sense of individuality, its varied cultural scene is embraced by proud locals, and the diverse mix of eateries means it is renowned as one of the foodie capitals of the South West. Head to the West Quarter or the cobbled Gandy Street to discover great mix of independent shops and boutiques, cafes and bars.

When it comes to culture Exeter is renowned in the south west for its independent arts scene. It is also firmly on the map as a destination for top sporting events and music. A good mix of independent venues such as the Exeter Phoenix, and large venues such as nearby Powderham Castle play host to a packed calendar of events and festivals throughout the year.

In Exeter we love the outdoors. The city's location in the heart of Devon, surrounded by miles of countryside and close to the World Heritage Jurassic Coast, means there are plenty of opportunities for adventure. This is the perfect place to try a new activity, or simply relax and enjoy the stunning scenery.
