A COMMUNITY WHEN YOU WANT IT AND INDEPENDENCE WHEN YOU DON'T
For many people considering a retirement move, maintaining independence is just as important as feeling safe and connected. Stowe Place offers the opportunity to enjoy your own front door and personal space while having access to a range of communal facilities and opportunities to meet other residents.
The development benefits from a welcoming residents' lounge and an on-site bistro where you can enjoy a meal or a cup of coffee without needing to venture far from home. A programme of social activities and resident-led interests provides opportunities to make new friends and enjoy the company of others whenever you wish. Equally, there is no obligation to take part in activities and you can continue to enjoy your own hobbies and daily routine.
With staff on site 24 hours a day and an emergency response system available within the development, there is added reassurance for both residents and their families. A guest suite also provides a convenient option when friends or relatives come to stay.
The location is another real advantage. Set in the heart of historic Lichfield, Stowe Place is within easy reach of the city's shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities. The nearby High Street offers a choice of familiar retailers and independent shops while local restaurants provide plenty of options for meeting friends or enjoying a meal out.
Public transport is also close at hand, with a nearby bus stop and Lichfield City railway station approximately 0.3 miles away. This makes it easier to get around and maintain connections with friends and family without always relying on a car.
The development is secured by electric gates and the apartment benefits from its own allocated parking space. Additional visitor parking is available on site, making visits from family and friends more convenient.
