A stylish over-60s ground-floor apartment in a sought-after McCarthy Stone development, offering patio access to landscaped gardens, residents’ lounge, House Manager and allocated parking — all just moments from Hereford city centre.
xclusively designed for the over-60s, William Grange is an elegant, purpose-built retirement development set on Friars Street, perfectly positioned on the edge of Hereford city centre. Thoughtfully designed to support an active, independent lifestyle, the development has been created and is professionally managed by McCarthy Stone, the UK’s leading retirement housebuilder and the only developer to have achieved the Home Builders Federation 5-Star Award for customer service every year since its inception in 2005.
At the heart of the development is a beautifully appointed homeowners’ lounge, opening directly onto immaculately landscaped communal gardens. This inviting space provides the perfect setting to relax, socialise, or enjoy organised activities with friends and neighbours. For visiting family or friends, the development offers a well-appointed guest suite with en-suite facilities, providing hotel-style comfort without the need for a spare room. Pets are also welcome (subject to approval by the Development Manager), recognising the comfort and companionship they bring.
Residents benefit from the reassuring presence of a dedicated House Manager, available during office hours to assist with day-to-day matters and help coordinate social events for those who wish to take part. The communal gardens are professionally maintained, allowing residents to enjoy attractive outdoor spaces without the burden of upkeep.
