Construction is underway on luxury retirement community

Radford House will comprise 65 apartments

Work on a new integrated retirement community in Exeter is set to complete in Autumn 2025.

Construction is now well-underway on the site off Topsham Road in the highly sought after residential area of St Leonards.

Radford House will comprise 65 one, two and three-bedroom retirement apartments for the over 65s, in a safe and secure environment, with the benefit of patios or walk-out balconies to all apartments.

Alexandra Johnson, Sales and Marketing Director for Adlington Retirement Living, said: “Radford house will have an excellent location, close to parks and green spaces, adjacent to the River Exe, and with easy access to Exeter City Centre.

“Our award-winning approach to independent living, ensures homeowners don’t have to compromise on their lifestyle, their social life or their independence. We aim to provide a community spirit, whilst promoting independence and individual respect. It’s a chance to become part of a thriving community of like-minded people, with a shared outlook.”

Anne, who moved to an Adlington Retirement Living community in January 2023, said: “It’s the best of both worlds – you have your own home, but you’ve got an added sense of security and you’re not alone. Many of the worries are taken off your shoulders. You no longer have to worry about the structure of your property, about the wellbeing of your building, about looking after the garden. All of those things are taken care of. You still have all your own independence and your own privacy. You have your own front door - your post comes through your own letterbox.

“When I moved in, almost immediately I thought ‘yes, I’ve done the right thing’. I feel so lucky to be here. It’s just wonderful for me. It all worked so well.”

Homeowners at Adlington Retirement Living’s new Exeter community will be able to enjoy their own peaceful and spacious apartment, spend time in the leafy gardens (maintained by an expert team of gardeners), relax in the hair salon, therapy suite or homeowners’ lounge and enjoy the restaurant.

Another aspect that appeals to many homeowners is the fact that optional personal care packages can be put in place to suit individuals’ needs. Be it short-term support after an operation, or more regular, long-term tailored personal care, the team work closely with their local care partner to ensure a flexible solution to suit each individual.

Adlington Retirement Living was crowned Seniors Housing Developer of the Year 2022 and its new retirement communities in Heaton Mersey, Stockport, and Lytham, Lancashire, won Seniors Housing Scheme of the Year at the HealthInvestor Seniors Housing Awards 2022 and 2023.

Four of Adlington’s retirement communities have also won Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards for the Best Retirement Development at the WhatHouse? Awards, the UK housebuilding’s most prestigious event.
