Social Lifestyle

One of the greatest benefits of being a McCarthy Stone homeowner is becoming part of a community of remarkable individuals, who embody a ‘life, well lived’. It’s about friendship, laughter and love. New adventures. Making memories. And making the most of the here and now.

But don’t take our word for it, see what our homeowners have to say:

“Our social calendar is busier than ever, with something for all tastes and abilities.”

“Our hectic social calendar continues to expand in all directions, giving everyone an opportunity to take part in something they enjoy. For instance, we devoted our weekly coffee morning to Marie Curie and thoroughly enjoyed raising the princely sum of £313.99.”

“Our House Manager organised a ‘Hoy’ Bingo session this week. I don’t usually attend many social events but have decided to come out of my shell a bit more. I attended this and would like to say how much I thoroughly enjoyed myself. It was great fun, entertaining and extremely well organised. I’m now looking forward to attending more social events here.”

Landscaped Gardens

Waveney Place boasts extensive landscaped gardens which wraps around the development. Paved pathways allow you to explore the grounds easily, whilst the ample seating provides the perfect place for you to sit and enjoy the gardens blossom and bloom throughout the seasons. All the communal grounds are fully maintained, however if you do enjoy gardening, there is always opportunities to get involved as much as you like. Many of our 'green-fingered' communities have raised beds where homeowners can grow their own produce and still keep a hand in their favourite pastime.

“I have enjoyed continuing to do the gardening by helping the on-site gardeners with the lovely, landscaped gardens we have.” – McCarthy Stone Homeowner
