About this home

A selection of brand new premium retirement apartments in the heart of Exeter by McCarthy & Stone. This is Exeter's most recent development comprising 62 lavishly and thoughtfully detailed one and two bedroom apartments, with a lift to all floors, designed exclusively for the over 60s. Orchid House is ideally situated within St Leonards, on the old Buckerell Lodge Hotel site, with its stunning grounds and protected trees. It offers excellent transport links, with a bus stop right outside the entrance as well as accessible walks to the nearby Riverside Country Park and Exeter's historic quayside.

The complex is currently under construction and in addition to the 62 luxury apartments, at the heart of this development, there is a communal lounge which provides a welcoming social hub to meet with friends and family and enjoy informal gatherings and events with other residents if desired. The shared landscaped gardens are maintained, and provide an outside space solely for use of the residents.

Each of the energy efficient and low maintenance apartments is designed to be high spec, comfortable and homely, and most offer either a patio or balcony space. The development is pet friendly and parking is available for both residents and guests. There is a hotel style guest suite, and an on site manager is at hand during office hours to provide support to the residents, along with a 24/7 call system.
