Rivers Edge Court

Constructed in early-2010 by award-winning retirement home specialists McCarthy and Stone, Rivers Edge Court is a ‘Retirement Living’ development providing an exceptional quality-of-lifestyle opportunity for the over 60’s and designed for independent living with the peace-of-mind provided by the day-to-day support of our excellent House Manager.

Rivers Edge Court enjoys excellent communal facilities including a homeowner’s lounge, laundry, scooter store and landscaped gardens. All apartments are equipped with a 24-hour emergency call facility and sophisticated intercom system providing both a visual and verbal link to the main development entrance. There is also the excellent guest suite widely used by visiting family and friends for which a small charge per night applies.

It’s so easy to make new friends and to lead a busy and fulfilled life at Rivers Edge Court; there are always plenty of regular activities to choose from including; regular coffee mornings, knitting group and organised coach trips. Whilst there is something for everyone there is certainly no obligation to participate and home owners can, of course, remain as private or involved as they wish.

The Local Area

As the development name implies it is in a tranquil Riverside setting adjacent to the River Okement with mature trees and shrubs around. We have previously described the development as 'unique' to reflect a location that in so many way feels quite rural but in reality is only a few minutes walk from a Waitrose supermarket with Okehampton High Street, it's cafes, pubs, restaurants, two further supermarkets and two independent shopping arcades just a further short flat walk away.

The modern kitchen is well appointed and conveniently positioned off the living room.

The generous double bedroom benefits from a fitted wardrobe along with additional storage, providing excellent space for clothing and personal belongings.

The modern bathroom is fitted with a walk-in level access shower, while a particularly useful walk-in utility/store cupboard provides further valuable storage and space for household appliances.
